CIA employee with Tri-State ties accused of leaking secret Israeli attack plans

CINCINNATI (WKRC) – A CIA employee with ties to the Tri-State area has been charged with leaking classified information about Israeli attack plans.

Asif William Rahman, who graduated from Yale in 2013 and lists his hometown as Cincinnati, was arrested by the FBI this week in Cambodia.

Rahman made his first court appearance yesterday in Guam, where a federal judge ordered his transfer to Northern Virginia to face charges. Authorities said Rahman held a top-secret security clearance.

The documents in question were posted on a Telegram channel last month.
