Former Nasa scientist guilty of spying
During an appearance in federal court, Stewart David Nozette admitted that he tried to provide Israel with top secret information about satellites, early warning systems, ways of retaliating against large-scale attack, communications intelligence information and elements of defence strategy.
The Justice Department and Nozette’s lawyers have agreed to a sentence of 13 years in prison. US District Judge Paul Friedman said he was prepared to accept the deal, pending Nozette’s cooperation with prosecutors, a procedure expected to last into November.
