CIA Agent Found In Moscow

An alleged CIA agent has been briefly detained in Moscow for allegedly trying to recruit a Russian intelligence officer, Russian media report.

He was held overnight before being released to US officials, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said.

Photos have emerged of the man, said to be an employee of the US embassy, being held face down on the ground.

The US ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul, has been summoned to the Russian foreign ministry.

The alleged spy, named as Ryan Fogle, is said to be third political secretary at the US embassy. There was no comment from the embassy.

The agent was reportedly arrested with a large sum of money, technical devices and written instructions for the agent he had tried to recruit.

While it is a sensitive time for US-Russian relations because of the crisis in Syria, the FSB's claims to have unearthed a CIA agent are unlikely to have any long-term political consequence, the BBC's Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow.

what and you don't think Russia has agents trying to infiltrate the CIA? get real drop the US bashing and realise it's the way this sort of thing works everyone nation does it including Britain/MI6, no doubt the CIA agent will be released in a few months in exchange for some Russian spy America is holding prisoner.

Doesn't change the fact that America has the most self-serving foreign policy in the world.

Its not a fact. If you would like to differ please offer objective evidence.

You really want me to list every single thing America does for itself, including all the crimes against humanity they've committed, along with their hypocritical approach to the way they view outsiders?

Looks like the Americans will do anything to get information and control, nothing changes. The CIA disgust me and frankly I don't give two ****s what happens to that man, not after what they've done to countless others and what they continue to do.
