SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- Fort Benning officials say an investigation into the beating of a Jewish soldier in basic training has resulted in the non-judicial punishment of a fellow trainee at the Georgia Army post.

Fort Benning spokeswoman Monica Manganaro said Friday privacy restrictions prohibited the Army from releasing further information such as the soldier's name and the specific punishment he will receive.

Pvt. Michael Handman of Atlanta was attacked Sept. 24 in a laundry room near his barracks days after the 20-year-old soldier complained of being harassed by drill sergeants because he is Jewish.

Handman was treated at a hospital for a concussion and bruising to his face. He has since returned to basic training.

Manganaro said investigators determined relgious bigotry wasn't the motive in the attack, but she could not say what caused it
