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.

Obama went to the hospital for acid reflux today. Maybe he found out that they caught the spy and he said, “Oh crap! My plan has gone awry!” Time to keep this story off the front page. I’m sick!”

...we need to tell the Saudis to FOAD once and for all...

There is a strict policy about passing on information to foreign citizens — even good allies like Australia, Britain, and Canada — called NOFORN (No Foreign Nationals) and that limits dissemination of the information whether or not it is classified.

Questions are: 1) How did this Saudi born national get access to classified information? 2) Who is responsible for hiring him and allowing him access?

Bottom line is that people, other than this Saudi, need to be doing SERIOUS prison time.
