Scenes from US reverberating across the worldUS correspondent Mark StoneAfter footage emerged of officers arresting Jack Teixeira in connection with its military leaks probe, Stone says officers will be wanting to find out why he did it.
The 21-year-old was taken into custody by FBI agents"without incident" and he will have an initial appearance in court, Mr Garland adds. It has been reported that Teixeira was in a private online group called Thug Shaker Central where mostly young men and teenagers"came together over a shared love of guns, racist online memes and video games".
"If you are working in the intelligence community and you require security clearance you are going to go through the proper vetting," Brig Gen Pat Ryder says.Staff are expected to"abide by the responsibilities" that come with having access to sensitive data, he says. The 21-year-old is understood to still be a free man, with the Pentagon saying a criminal investigation is being carried out by the justice department and the FBI. 19:20:07
Asked if the defence department has reached out to the airman, or knows his location, Brig Gen Ryder again reiterates that he is not able to talk about it.
