Russian Jailed as US Spy

A Russian national accused of spying for the US has been sentenced to 4 years in jail by a Moscow court. Security service officials say Gregory Sipachev sent classified military maps over the Internet to the Pentagon's in-house intelligence service, the BBC reports. The court said Sipachev, whose occupation was not disclosed, received a lighter sentence in return for co-operating with the investigation and identifying other people putting Russia's security at risk. US officials haven't commented on the case.
