All the CNN article does is repeats the BBC. It is a media self-confirming merry go round with ever more credible news agencies repeating the original report thus lending authority to the original report. The original source remains UK communications monitoring.

While accepting the validity of this single source there has yet to be discovery of physical confirmation AFAIK.

PS

Latest hardening of cause is "Strong suspicion"
