US spy accusations read like a Cold War thriller

US AGENTS shattered an alleged Russian spy ring after a decade-long probe, announcing the arrest of 10 “deep-cover” suspects accused of infiltrating policymaking and reporting back to Moscow.

Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov swiftly demanded an explanation of the charges, which read like the synopsis of a Cold War thriller with encrypted messages, false identities, and tales of buried money and hidden video cameras.

The FBI secretly monitored the mission for more than 10 years.
