Russia’s Federal Security Service- Another alleged US spy expelled

Russia on Tuesday ordered a U.S. diplomat to leave the country after the FSB claimed to have caught him red-handed trying to recruit a Russian agent in Moscow. The FSB alleges that Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy, works for the CIA.

Russian state television has aired footage provided by Russia’s security services claiming that another alleged American spy was expelled earlier this year.

In the footage aired Wednesday, a man identified only as an FSB operative and sitting in near darkness said a “CIA operative” was expelled in January. The U.S. Embassy had no immediate comment.

Associated press coordinator for human rights observers – Norberto Lluch reports from the region.
