U.S. authorities arrested an American engineer on Tuesday on suspicion of giving military secrets involving nuclear weapons, fighter jets and air defense missiles to Israel during the 1980s, the Justice Department
said.
Ben-Ami Kadish, a Connecticut-born U.S. citizen who worked at an Army engineering center in New Jersey, was suspected of reporting to the same Israeli government handler who dealt with Jonathan Jay Pollard, who is serving a life term on a charge of spying for Israel.
Court papers say Kadish's spying lasted roughly from 1979 to 1985, and his contact with handler - an employee of the Israeli consulate - continued until March of this year.
Kadish worked at the U.S. Army's Armament Research, Development and
Engineering Center in Dover, New Jersey.
The complaint says Kadish took home classified documents several times between 1979 and 1985, and the Israeli government worker photographed them in Kadish's basement.
The documents included information about nuclear weapons, and the U.S. Patriot missile air defense system.
