US Air Force punishes 15 officers over top secret leaks
Fifteen US Air National Guard officers have been punished for failing to stop a junior colleague from allegedly leaking classified documents online.
Jack Teixeira has been charged with six counts of retaining and transmitting classified information.
An Air Force report said that officers were "aware of his intelligence-seeking activities" and failed to stop him.
However, it also said none of his supervisors knew the full extent of Mr Teixeira's online activities.

The 15 officers who were punished hold ranks that range from staff sergeant - the lowest non-commissioned officer level - to colonel, a senior rank.
They received a variety of penalties, the Air Force said, but privacy laws prevent the military from disclosing lower-ranking officers' punishments, an Air Force spokesperson said.
The 102nd Intelligence Wing commander, Col Sean Riley, was relieved of his command of the unit, which has been taken "off mission" and its tasks given to other units.
