The leaked US intelligence reports reveal purported details of Ukrainian military vulnerabilities and information about allies including Israel, South Korea and Turkey.
DIGHTON, Massachusetts – The FBI on Thursday arrested Jack Douglas Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the US Air National Guard, over the leaks online of classified documents that embarrassed Washington with allies around the world.
The leak of documents, posted largely on social media sites, was believed to be the most serious security breach since more than 700,000 documents, videos and diplomatic cables appeared on the WikiLeaks website in 2010. The FBI said its agents had conducted “authorized law enforcement activity at a residence in North Dighton, Massachusetts.”
“This is someone who is facing on the higher end of exposure for years in prison … because the leaks were so damaging,” Van Grack said. “There were about six to eight army guys with rifles walking around,” Treacy said. “This is a very quiet area.” “He’s a good kid, not a troublemaker, just a quiet guy,” Souza said. “It sounds like it was a stupid kid’s mistake.”Although the leak only garnered widespread attention after an April 6 story in the New York Times, journalists have found evidence that the documents – or at least some of them – had been floating around on social media as far back as March or even January.
