Russia's Federal Security Service has detained an American citizen who is being accused of trying to recruit a Russian intelligence officer to work for the CIA.
Ryan Fogle, who was working at the American Embassy, was an undercover CIA operative, who, according to the Russians, was carrying a great deal of money. He was also found with a letter filled with instructions for the Russian he was trying to flip to the CIA.
The U.S. Embassy has yet to comment on the situation.
The Russians claim that Fogle also was in possession "special technical equipment" and the "means for changing one's appearance" (pictured below). He was detained Monday night and then handed over to U.S. officials Tuesday morning.
