A CIA official has been charged with disclosing classified documents regarding Israel's plans to retaliate against Iran for an attack on its soil. Concretely, Asif W. Rahman was arrested in Cambodia on Tuesday and brought before a federal court in Guam. He was indicted with two counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information. He is set to appear in Guam on Thursday.
The leak created an international firestorm, considering the sensibility of the documents, which were prepared by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which analyzes information from U.S. spy satellites.
