A Naval engineer is facing charges that he gave an FBI undercover agent posing as an Egyptian intelligence officer secret documents about the new Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier while discussing how to sink the vessel with a missile.
Mostafa Ahmed Awwad, 35, of Yorktown, Va., was arrested Friday on an FBI affidavit that reads like it came from a Tom Clancy novel.
Federal prosecutors in Virginia say that during his conversations with the undercover, Awwad arranged to use a dead-drop location along a secluded hiking trail to pass secrets about the Ford, which is being built in Virginia for delivery to the Navy in 2016.
The affidavit says that at a hotel meeting on Oct. 9 Awwad gave the undercover drawings of the aircraft carrier that he said were top secret. During the meeting, "Awwad discussed where to strike the vessel with a missile in order to sink it," the affidavit says.
The FBI undercover was posing as an Egyptian spy named "Yousef" and spoke to Awwad in Arabic.

“Our Diversity Is Our Strength.” /s/
Why is DOD giving foreign nationals security clearances like this? Does NOFORN mean anything anymore?
John Walker just died a few months ago so there should be a cell available.
{face palm} uuggghhh!
As horrific as this act of treason is, it would be even MORE horrific if we somehow lost our diversity in the military in effort to shield ourselves from Islamonazi terrorism... < /sarc >
Awwad cried as he was led into the courtroom for his first hearing!
OMG...LOL.
His picture is at the link.

There’s another recent opening. Given the occupant of our White House, I consider a promotion to SecDef more likely than a long prison term.
Old SPARKY would work to.
He’s a foreign-born American citizen. He swore an oath to our country and betrayed it.
He’ll have a lot more to cry about very soon.
Our “Friends” the Saudis....Keeping their friends close, and their enemies even closer.
A "DREAMER".
And POOF! He has been wisked out of the country on Airforce 2, for his own safety.
Keel haul him under a carrier.
Video tape it.
YouTube it.
But we have to keep giving these people nice jobs with security clearances or it’s racist. No other country in the world operates like this but we bad and horrible if we don’t. It’s completely crazy.
I say we take this guy up for a nice ride in a C-130. At 10,000 feet, make him take a walk.
I think I heard somewhere that Muslims don’t consider themselves bound by any oaths other than those related to Islam — and that they consider it acceptable to take an oath with the intention of violating it.
Allah not only approves — he expects it.
Give him another 20 years for that outfit!
Talking to a friend of mine yesterday, said He had heard we are paying the cost of Saudi soldiers fighting isis?
