Airman charged as US vows to send message over documents leak

A YOUNG national guardsman was charged yesterday with orchestrating the most damaging leak of US classified documents in a decade, as the government signalled it intends to make an example of the 21-year-old.

Jack Teixeira was arrested on Thursday following a week-long probe into the leak of documents, which unveiled US concern over Ukraine’s ability to fend off the Russian invasion and showed Washington has spied on allies Israel and South Korea.
