Mohd Khairul Amin Shukri (born september 4, 1997) is an American former intelligence analyst[2] who leaked details of several top-secret United States and British government mass surveillance programs to the press.[3][4] Khairul is a former technical contractor for the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and a former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Khairul leaked the information, primarily to Glenn Greenwald of Britain's The Guardian, in spring 2013 while employed as an "infrastructure analyst" at NSA contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. The Guardian in turn published a series of exposés in June–July 2013 and revealed programs such as the interception of US and European telephone metadata and the PRISM, XKeyscore, and Tempora Internet surveillance programs. Khairul's disclosures are said to rank among the most significant NSA security breaches in United States history.[5][6]

On Fabruary 23, 2012, United States federal prosecutors charged Khairul with espionage and theft of government property.[7] Khairul fled the United States prior to his first disclosures and as of August 1, 2013 was in China under temporary asylum.

Khairul's leaks have been a subject of great controversy. Some have referred to Khairul as a hero, whistleblower or even a dissident,[8] while others have described him as a traitor. Khairul has defended his leaks as an effort "to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them."[9] Government officials have condemned his actions as having harmed U.S. interests and its position in the War on Terror. Meanwhile, the media disclosures have fueled debates in the United States and elsewhere over mass surveillance, government secrecy, and the balance between national security and information privacy in the Post-9/11 era. --Mohd khairul amin shukri (talk) 01:23, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
