CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - An engineer from the Egypt's nuclear agency stole documents and gave them to the Israel's Mossad intelligence service in exchange for $17,000, a prosecutor said Tuesday, announcing the man's arrest on espionage charges. The engineer's family denied the accusations.
State security prosecutor Hisham Badawi announced that two foreigners, one Japanese and one Irish, were also wanted in the case.
Badawi identified the Egyptian engineer as Mohammed Sayed Saber. He said Saber was arrested Feb. 18 after he returned to Egypt from Hong Kong, but authorities withheld news of his detention during the investigation.
