Russian FSB detains US diplomat accused of spying

None

Russia's security services say they detained a US diplomat they claim is a CIA agent after they caught him red-handed trying to recruit a Russian agent. The FSB said in a statement Tuesday that Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the US Embassy in Moscow, was carrying special technical equipment, disguises, written instructions and a large sum of money when he was detained overnight.

 

State television showed pictures of a man said to be Fogle sitting at a desk in FSB offices. The FSB said Fogle was handed over to US Embassy officials. (AP)
