Russian authorities briefly detained Ryan C. Fogle, a U.S. diplomat whom they accuse of spying, before ordering him to leave the country:
Fogle was detained Monday night or early Tuesday morning, reportedly while in the act of trying to recruit the unnamed Russian. According to Russian news agencies, he was detained on Akademika Pilyugina Street, in a residential neighborhood across from a park in southwest Moscow. Video of Fogle being led to a car by officers from the security service, known by the initials FSB, identifies the location as virtually in front of a housing compound reserved for foreign diplomats, though it is not clear whether he lives there.
