U.S. government employee Asif William Rahman was indicted for allegedly leaking classified documents about Israeli plans for retaliatory strikes on Iran.
Authorities have arrested and charged a man suspected of leaking classified documents that described Israel's preparations for a possible attack against Iran, according to a New York Times report. The Times report names U.S. government employee Asif William Rahman as the suspect. A court filing states that Rahman was indicted last week in federal court in Virginia with two counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information.
The classified documents, attributed to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, note that Israel was still moving military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran's blistering ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1. They were sharable within the 'Five Eyes,' which are the U.S., Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The documents, which are marked top secret, were posted to the Telegram messaging app in October.
