Associated Press, Honolulu | World | Sat, June 15 2013, 12:31 PM

A military jury has convicted a U.S. Army officer of unauthorized possession of classified documents and giving a document with classified assessments of Cambodia to a person not entitled to have it.

A panel returned the verdict Friday in the court martial of Maj. Seivirak Inson.

The jurors also convicted Inson of possessing a U.S. Pacific Command maritime strategy document and other military intelligence documents that he wasn't authorized to have.

They acquitted Inson of collecting information on service members of Cambodian descent with the intention of giving the information to Cambodian military and government officials.

Inson was formerly assigned to the U.S. Pacific Command.
