UK suspends information from boats in the Caribbean to the US, says TV
Intelligence information was sent to help combat drug trafficking. The United Kingdom forwarded the details to the Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF South), a United States body based in Key West, Florida, whose main mission is to combat drug trafficking in the maritime and air areas of the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and the East Pacific.
British officials believe the US military strikes, which killed 76 people, violate international law, the sources said. The pause in providing intelligence information began more than a month ago, according to CNN. The UK grew to fear that the US might use British-supplied intelligence to select targets.
The British embassy in Washington and the White House did not comment on the matter. A Pentagon official told CNN that the department “does not comment on intelligence matters.”

At least 76 people have been killed by the US in the last two months in operations. There were 20 vessels attacked during the period.
In none of the cases were the suspects intercepted or interrogated. Washington also did not release evidence that its targets were involved in drug trafficking or posed a threat to the United States.
