The 41-year-old was detained near Gloucester, home to the U.K.’s intelligence and cybersecurity agency
LONDON—A member of the U.S. Army has been arrested by British counterterrorism police, who said they worked closely with the U.S. military and FBI, over allegations of spying for Russia.
The 41-year-old man was arrested near Gloucester on Tuesday. The area is home to Britain’s GCHQ, the country’s intelligence and cybersecurity agency, and the NATO Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.
“This significant arrest and investigation is a result of close collaboration between U.K. and U.S. authorities. The allegations are serious and our investigation is very much ongoing,” said Vicki Evans, deputy assistant commissioner of the U.K.’s Metropolitan Police.

Probably only the tip of the iceberg, knowing Russia.
Good that US Gov’t is helping the UK find these traitors.
Age 41 means senior officer or non-commissioned officer.
“”””Age 41 means senior officer or non-commissioned officer.””””
You can enlist at age 41.
The UK traitors are the UK Government. This guy was just an alleged spy who got caught. All countries have spies.
Whew! At least he hasn’t been caught torturing 14 year old British kids or snuffing the lives of depressed people.
Stay with my first thought.
Or CWO - lots of them in the intel community,
The article points out that he is a senior soldier with access to sensitive information, but the ‘age 41’ could apply to a grandmother just arriving at basic training.
The guy is a spy, if convicted then hang him.
GCHQ is the UK’s equivalent to our National Security Agency (NSA).
Mother of US Army? Who writes these headlines?
