Russia’s security services claimed Tuesday that Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, was a CIA officer. It said Fogle was carrying special technical equipment, disguises, written instructions and a large sum of money when he was detained overnight.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Fogle was handed back to U.S. Embassy officials, declared persona non grata and ordered to leave Russia immediately.
It was the first case of an American diplomat in Moscow publicly accused of spying in about a decade.
The CIA declined to comment on the case.

The Russian spies who INFEST New York City and Brighton Beach will be looking over their shoulders tonite.
Its really improves russian-american relations. And I am serious.
