Russia grants accused spy two week Christmas break
A US official said Bliss may depart Rostov, Russia, on a Qualcomm-chartered aircraft for the United States. The Czech and U S sides confirmed an agreement allowing his return for the holidays after being detained since November 25 while working on a cellular system in Rostov-on-Don. The FSB accuses him of surveying sensitive sites with satellite receivers, a state secret under Russian law, while Bliss claims innocence. U S officials express hope for improved ties with Russia.
