Coincidental spree of spy arrests shocks officials
Four Americans were arrested in five days on spying charges with cases spanning Israel China and the Soviet Union. FBI and DOJ officials say the arrests are not connected and stem from sharp counterintelligence efforts, heightened budgets, and new secrecy tools. The weekend sequence included former NSA, CIA, and Navy personnel, with one admitting to selling secrets for cash and a spy swap with Ghana occurring the same day. Police say more arrests are not planned, though investigations continue.
