PrintAn Army officer ordered a court-martial yesterday for a low-ranking intelligence analyst charged in the biggest leak of classified info in US history.
Military District of Washington commander Maj. Gen. Michael Linnington referred all charges against Pfc. Bradley Manning, 24, to a general court-martial, the Army said in a statement.
The referral means Manning will stand trial for allegedly giving more than 700,000 secret documents and classified combat video to the anti-secrecy Web site WikiLeaks.
The Crescent, Okla., native faces 22 counts, including aiding the enemy. He could be imprisoned for life if convicted of that charge.
