A Saudi-born Naval engineer is accused of revealing secret documents about a new aircraft carrier to an undercover FBI agent, the Washington Times reports.
Mostafa Ahmed Awwad is facing federal charges for allegedly handing over the information about a carrier being built in Norfolk, Va.
The FBI arrested the 35-year-old on Friday, claiming he met an undercover agent at a remote hiking trail.
Awwad also is accused of offering to buy a secret camera to photograph restricted material.
The undercover agent was posing as an Egyptian spy named “Yousef” and said he wanted to information “to strike the vessel with a missile in order to sink it.”
