The 21-year-old Air National Guardsman suspected of leaking leaking of several highly classified military documents online was a "video game and gun nut", it is reported.
FBI and heavily armed tactical agents yesterday swarmed the Massachusetts home of Teixeira and took him into custody for the crimes.
He today appeared in court for the first time to be charged with leaking the docs, which it is feared could make allies wary of sharing intelligence with the United States, and could face ten years in prison if found guilty.
