New
York Times: Leonardo Mascheroni, a physicist at Los Alamos
National Laboratory, and his wife Marjorie Mascheroni were
arrested last Friday in their home in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
The couple faces charges that they sold classified information
about nuclear weapons to an FBI agent who was posing Venezuelan
spy. Although the Venezuelan government is prospecting for
uranium, it has denied planning to develop nuclear weapons. In
indicting the Mascheronis, the US government did not accuse the
Venezuelan government or its agents of espionage.
