Ex-Soldier Sentenced in Espionage Case
A former soldier who was once stationed in West Germany was sentenced in Tampa, Fla., to 25 years in prison for plotting to deliver highly sensitive defense documents to Hungarian and Czech agents. Federal officials said the espionage involved one of the most serious breaches of Western security during the Cold War. Kelly Therese Warren, 32, of Warner Robins, Ga., pleaded guilty last fall to conspiring to commit espionage while stationed with the U.S. Army 8th Infantry Division headquarters in Bad Kreuznach from 1986 to 1988. She helped prepare documents that concerned the Allied defense of Central Europe, plans for the use of nuclear weapons and documents related to chemical warfare.
