Russia detains 'American CIA agent'
Russia says it has detained an alleged American CIA agent working undercover at the US embassy who was discovered with a large stash of money as he was trying to recruit a Russian intelligence officer.
Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB, ex-KGB) on Tuesday identified the man as Ryan Fogle - third secretary of the political section of Washington's embassy in Moscow - and said he had been handed back to the embassy after his detention.
In the latest espionage scandal that risks rocking US-Russia relations at a sensitive time, the Russian foreign ministry said it was summoning US ambassador Michael McFaul on Wednesday to provide an explanation.
Photographs published by state English language television RT showed Fogle being held to the ground face down and having his hands put behind his back for the arrest.

He was then shown being questioned at the Federal Security Service while documents such as his passport and a stack of 500 euro notes along with some letters were displayed.
Pictures were also shown of his alleged espionage equipment including wigs, a compass, torch and even a mundane atlas of Moscow as well as a somewhat old fashioned mobile phone.
