Detectives in the United States have uncovered twenty thousand pages of classified documents from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that were stolen by a spy for the purpose of selling them to Saddam Hussein and the Chinese intelligence agency. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents yesterday retrieved several CDs and videotapes that 'Brian Regan' had hidden underground in locations in Maryland and Virginia, near Washington. Regan had taken these items while working for a government organization in the field of gathering intelligence through spy satellites. Regan was arrested two years ago and sentenced to life in prison earlier this year, without being able to qualify for a reduction of his sentence due to good behavior in prison.
