A US military attaché based at the American Embassy in London has been sent back to the United States amid allegations involving child abuse material. According to reports, British authorities were alerted after such material was allegedly found on the official’s devices. The US informed UK authorities before the attaché left Britain on a commercial flight. The move has sparked anger among some British politicians. Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty accused the US of “protecting pedophiles”. The British government said foreign diplomats must follow UK laws. The US Embassy said it took swift action and is cooperating with British authorities while the investigation continues. (PC: AFP via Getty Images)
