A United States Army officer yesterday recommended a general court-martial for Private Bradley Manning, the intelligence analyst charged with causing the biggest leak of classified information in US history.
Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Almanza's recommendation to try Manning on all 22 counts, including aiding the enemy, now goes up the chain of command for a final determination by a general.
Manning, 24, allegedly gave more than 700,000 secret US documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks for publication.
