A U.S. diplomat was ordered May 14 to leave the country after Kremlin's security services, FSB, said he tried to recruit a Russian agent, and FSB displayed tools that seemed straight from a cheap spy thriller: wigs, packets of cash, a knife, map and compass, and a letter promising millions for "long-term cooperation."

The FSB identified the diplomat as Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, and alleged he was a CIA officer. Fogle was handed over to U.S. Embassy officials, and ordered to leave Russia immediately. (AP)
