Leaked notes show US plan to close ‘high risk’ Abbey gate pushed back to allow UK evacuation to continue

US forces had planned to close Abbey gate on Thursday afternoon because it was deemed to be at the “highest risk”, according to classified notes of video conference discussions among senior military figures just 24 hours before the attack, which were obtained by Politico.
