Germany asks top US spy in Berlin to leave country amid undercover agent investigation

The head of the German parliamentary board overseeing the secret services, Clemens Binninger, announced on Thursday that the head of the CIA's Germany station would be asked to leave the country.

The decision to expel the US Embassy's CIA representative is designed to demonstrate Germany's anger at the discovery of two US spies in Germany's foreign intelligence service, the BND.

The first operative, who was working under cover in the German intelligence service, was arrested a week ago. He admitted to passing over 200 documents to the CIA - the United State's foreign intelligence agency - for 25,000 euros ($34,000). The double agent worked for the BND for two years.

A second case involving a civilian emerged on Wednesday. Investigators conducted a search of the suspect's Berlin apartment and office, according to the Federal Prosecutor's Office. They confiscated several computers and numerous data storage devices.

An arrest warrant has not yet been issued for the second suspect, who was employed by Germany's defense ministry.
