The FBI has arrested a suspect – named as Jack Teixeira – who they believe is linked to a leak of confidential US defence and intelligence documents
He is a 21-year-old member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard
The Pentagon told a press conference the leak was a deliberate criminal act
The defence and intelligence files were leaked on the gaming platform Discord, causing panic among top US officials
At least 50, but perhaps more than 100, secret documents were posted on the platform
The material includes sensitive information regarding the war in Ukraine, as well as on China and US allies
