The following was written by London Sunday Times reporter Michael Smith for Raw Story.

LONG-RUNNING disputes between UK and American intelligence and security services over intelligence in the war on terror rose to the surface last week with US sources accusing the British of blocking the capture of a key member of the al-Qaeda team that carried out the London bombings.

The claims followed leaks of British police photographs, including a nail bomb found in the trunk of a bomber's car, passed to the US-based ABC News, apparently by a member of the US team sent to London to assist the investigation.

Clashes date back to Sept. 11 attacks

The rows over Aswat and leaking of photographs of explosives and bombs found in the trunk of one of the bomber's cars in Luton are just the latest in a series of simmering disputes dating back to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
