Russia Expels Israeli Diplomat over Alleged Spying

Russia expelled the Israeli military attaché in Moscow on suspicion of spying. "The military attaché and defence ministry representative in Russia, Colonel Vadim Leiderman, was surprisingly detained last week for questioning by the Russian authorities on claims of espionage. Following questioning he was given 48 hours to leave Russia," the Israeli defence ministry said in a statement. The ministry added that an Israeli investigation had found no basis for the Russian suspicions.
