A man who worked for the US government has been charged with leaking classified information assessing Israel’s plans to attack Iran prior to the retaliatory strike late last month, according to court papers filed today.
The man, identified as Asif William Rahman, was arrested by the FBI this week in Cambodia and is due to make his first court appearance in Guam.
It is not immediately clear whether he had a lawyer or which federal agency employed him.
The New York Times was first to report his arrest.
