WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - Former vice presidential aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby was found guilty on Tuesday of four counts of lying, perjury and obstructing justice during an investigation tied to the Iraq war.

Investigators were trying to determine who leaked the identity of CIA analyst Valerie Plame in 2003 after her husband accused the Bush administration of manipulating intelligence to build its case for war.

Libby was found not guilty of one count of lying. He faces 25 years in prison.
