Former FBI Agent Accused Of Leaking Info

DETROIT (CBS News) ― A woman who previously worked as an FBI agent and a CIA analyst is expected to plead guilty to charges she disclosed unauthorized information to people outside the government, CBS News has learned.

Sources say the woman, from Lebanon, entered the United States on a student visa and earned citizenship through a sham marriage.

While officials say there is no evidence of actual espionage and no evidence that she was working as a spy, she is accused of passing information to sympathizers of Hezbollah, a group the US has labeled a terrorist organization.

Sources say she came under suspicion after performing a number of computer searches unrelated to cases she had been assigned to.

The woman is expected to appear in court this afternoon in Detroit.
