Former CIA defector Edward Lee Howard dies at 50
Edward Lee Howard, the first known ex CIA officer to defect to the Soviet Union, died July 12 at his Moscow home aged 50. He left the CIA in 1983 amid espionage suspicions, fled to Moscow in 1985, and earlier provided information to the KGB linked to treason trials. He was a New Mexico native who later sought asylum in 1986. Israel votes to defer ultra Orthodox draft until after age 22, with options for a year off and possible national service. Kuwaiti security officials plan to visit Guantanamo Bay next month to interrogate 12 Kuwaitis held on suspected ties to al Qaida while abroad.
