A former FBI bomb technician who later worked as a contractor for the
bureau has agreed to plead guilty to disclosing national defense
information to the Associated Press about a disrupted terrorist plot to
bring down a civilian airliner headed for the United States, the Justice
Department said Monday.
Officials described the disclosure as one of the most serious national security leaks in history, saying it came in the middle of a sensitive intelligence operation. The case led to the Justice Department’s controversial decision to secretly subpoena two months’ worth of phone records from the Associated Press.
