US docs leaker worked at army base – paper

WASHINGTON, D.C.: The source behind a leak of highly sensitive United States government documents is a military base worker who first shared them on social media, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

The breach — which has sparked a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice — includes classified information about Ukraine's battle against invading Russian forces, as well as secret assessments of US allies.
