US Army Private Bradley Manning has been acquitted of aiding the enemy for
giving classified secrets to WikiLeaks.
The military judge hearing the case, Army Col Denise Lind, announced the
verdict on Tuesday. The charge was the most serious of 21 counts. It carried a
possible life sentence without parole.
Manning was convicted of five espionage counts, five theft charges, a computer
fraud charge and other military infractions.
Manning's sentencing hearing is set to begin on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old Crescent, Oklahoma, native acknowledged giving the anti-secrecy
website hundreds of thousands of battlefield reports, diplomatic cables and
videos in early 2010.
Manning said he did not believe the information would harm troops in
Afghanistan and Iraq or threaten national security.
