An official from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been arrested and charged for allegedly leaking classified material about Israel’s attack plans on Iran last month.

The New York Times first reported Wednesday morning that Asif W. Rahman, who works overseas for the CIA, was indicted last week on federal charges and arrested on Tuesday in Cambodia.

He was brought to a federal courthouse in Guam where he was arraigned on two counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information.

Rahman had a top-secret security clearance and access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), the Times reported.

The information that was leaked was compiled by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which analyzes satellite imagery.

The classified documents that were leaked were intended to only be viewed by members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which includes the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Officials were alerted to a leak after a pro-Iran Telegram account published the U.S. intelligence documents last month about Israel’s preparations for their attack against Iran, which had been in planning for weeks.

The report said that the leak could be an attempt to disrupt the forthcoming strike.

The documents showed a summary of what U.S. spy satellites observed the Israeli military doing in preparation for the operation, including moving planes and munitions and conducting “a large exercise”.

Israel’s strike against Iran came after the Islamic regime fired more than 180 ballistic missiles into Israel at the start of October, which sent nearly the entire country running for bomb shelters.
