The US soldier accused of leaking large amounts of secret data to Wikileaks has pleaded guilty to a series of 10 lesser charges, US media report.

But Pfc Bradley Manning, 25, may still be prosecuted for the most serious charge against him, aiding the enemy.

A military judge will now decide whether to accept the guilty pleas, with which he faces 20 years in prison.

On Thursday, Pfc Manning told the court he leaked documents to spark debate on military and foreign policy.

Pfc Manning last spoke in court in November about his treatment in Kuwait and in the US after his arrest.

He described being locked up alone for 23 hours a day in a small cell for nearly nine months at a high-security jail in Quantico, Virginia.

At the military court in Fort Meade, Maryland, the judge, Col Denise Lind, must now decide whether to accept the guilty pleas.

Prosecutors can still pursue a trial on the remaining 12 charges, including aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence.
