FBI Digs Up Spy’s Cache of Documents
The FBI has dug up thousands of pages of classified documents authorities say were buried by Brian Regan, a former Air Force master sergeant serving a life sentence for attempting to sell U.S. secrets to Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and others.
The roughly 10,000 pages of documents, as well as videotapes and CD-ROMs, were taken by Regan while he worked at the National Reconnaissance Office, which operates the nation’s spy satellites. They were buried at undisclosed locations in the Washington area, officials said.
The materials provided details about spy satellites and U.S. early warning systems, among other things, officials said.
