SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - A U.S. army intelligence officer was charged Saturday with violating security at the U.S. detention camp for terrorist suspects in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

He is the fourth worker at the base accused of such violations. Two Arabic translators and a Muslim chaplain face charges ranging from espionage to adultery.

U.S. army Col. Jack Farr was charged Saturday with failing to obey a lawful general order and making a false official statement, all violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, said a statement from the U.S. Southern Command in Miami.

"Specifically, he's charged with wrongfully transporting classified material without the proper security container on or around Oct. 11, and making a false statement in the course of the investigation into his handling of classified material," it said.

It was not immediately clear if Farr was under arrest, nor if he is still at Guantanamo Bay.

He had been on temporary duty there for six months, serving as an intelligence staff officer, the statement said.

His charges have been forwarded to the commander of the base, who could dismiss them, refer them to a court-martial or direct a pre-trial investigation, it said.

He has been assigned two army lawyers and has the right to retain a civilian lawyer.
