Britain fears the US could target the boat that provided the information without any investigation. So far, 76 people have been killed in US military strikes since last September.

The British military has stopped providing the US with confidential information about boats used for drug smuggling in Latin America for the past month, CNN has reported. British military bases around the Caribbean Sea have been providing information about suspicious boats carrying drugs to the US military for years. This information usually reaches the Joint Inter-Agency Task Force South. The task force, based in Florida, includes representatives from the US and its partner countries. It works to reduce illegal drug trafficking. In the past, the US Coast Guard used to stop boats, detain their crews and seize drugs. But since last September, the UK has stopped providing information after the US launched deadly attacks on boats. Britain fears that the US could target the boats it has reported without any investigation. So far, 76 people have died in US military attacks. British officials consider this illegal. That's why they told CNN they had stopped providing classified information.  UN human rights chief Volker Turk last month complained that the US was violating international law.  The British embassy in Washington and the White House did not respond to CNN's request for comment. A Pentagon official said, "Our department is not allowed to talk about intelligence."
