Germany probes second suspected US double agent

Germany is investigating a suspected US spy in its military days after the arrest of a member of its foreign intelligence agency as a double agent tested US relations already strained by espionage.

The federal prosecutor’s office said in a statement that authorities had begun conducting searches in Berlin yesterday in connection with a suspected spy, who had not been arrested. It gave no further details.

“The suspect is from the military,” a security source told Reuters.
