WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning said Thursday that she anticipates being jailed as a result of refusing to testify before a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia.
Manning, a 31-year-old former Army intelligence analyst, said that he declined to answer questions from federal prosecutors this week about his disclosures to WikiLeaks, a website published by Australian-born activist Julian Assange. A judge will decide Friday whether to find him in contempt.
