The Justice Department has charged a man for allegedly leaking highly classified US intelligence about Israel’s plans for retaliation against Iran, according to court documents and a person familiar with the case.
Asif W. Rahman was indicted last Thursday for willfully retaining and transmitting national defense information, according to court documents. He was arrested Tuesday in Cambodia and will first appear in court in Guam, though the department has asked a federal judge to move him to Virginia to stand trial.
Rahman was employed by the CIA, according to a person familiar with his employment. Court documents indicate he was employed by the US government.
Rahman held a top secret security clearance and could access sensitive compartmentalized information.
The New York Times first reported Rahman’s indictment.
Shocking with a name like that, who could have known?

It's truly a mystery.
That said I thought you had to commit an act of treason to even be considered for employment by the CIA?
