AN American scientist who once worked for the Pentagon and the US space agency NASA has been arrested and charged with attempted spying for Israel, the US Department of Justice said.
Stewart David Nozette, 52, is charged with "attempted espionage for knowingly and willfully attempting to communicate, deliver, and transmit classified information relating to the national defense of the United States to an individual that Nozette believed to be an Israeli intelligence officer,'' the Department of Justice said. |
