RUSSIA ESPIONAGE CASE: US ARMY OFFICER DETAINED AT NATO COMMAND
NATO'S INSIDER THREAT: THE ARREST RAISING SERIOUS QUESTIONS
3. Video description
A 41-year-old US Army officer assigned to NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps has been arrested in Britain on suspicion of espionage linked to Russia.
The arrest took place near Gloucester, close to Imjin Barracks, where the NATO command is headquartered.
British Counter Terrorism Policing, MI5, the FBI and US military counterintelligence are involved in the investigation.
The allegations concern obtaining or disclosing protected information and assisting a foreign intelligence service.
But one crucial detail deserves attention: reporting by The Washington Post says officials familiar with the investigation indicated that no sensitive information had been passed to Russia.
So what happened? Was this an attempted intelligence operation? What information was allegedly involved? And does this case expose a wider insider-security challenge for NATO?
The investigation is ongoing. The suspect has not been convicted.
Watch the full report.
The news is global. The consequences are personal.
