US military analyst, Bradley Manning, has been arrested on suspicion of leaking classified combat video and documents to a whistle-blower website.



A former hacker reported Mr Manning out of concern for US national security.



The WikiLeaks website posted a video which it says shows the US military shooting civilians in Baghdad in 2007.



WikiLeaks\' organisers say they were given the footage, which came from cameras on US Apache helicopters.



They decrypted it, but would not reveal who gave it to them.
