- <p> The hidden camera at the U.S. embassy in Athens spotted
- something suspicious: a communications officer was stuffing
- documents into his pockets. The telltale videotaping was part
- of an investigation that led the FBI to charge Steven Lalas, 40,
- with espionage. He allegedly sold 240 classified documents
- containing U.S. intelligence on Greece and the former Yugoslavia
- to the Greek military. Called back to Washington and arrested,
- Lalas pleaded innocent. State Department officials first
- suspected a security breach when a Greek official in Washington
- blurted out something indicating that he knew the contents of
- a classified U.S. cable.
