FBI convulsed by spy story of sex and lies:
-
The case is the talk of Los Angeles society: Ms Leung’s wealthy friends had known her as a successful bookshop owner and local Republican fundraiser. But it is feared that Ms Leung, 49, a naturalised US citizen who was born in China, may have tainted more than two decades worth of US intelligence on China’s nuclear programme.
It is also thought that Ms Leung may have tipped off Beijing about an alleged attempt to plant bugs on China’s presidential jet while it was being refitted in the US. The Chinese said they discovered 27 devices on the Boeing 767 when it was returned, including microphones in the headboard of former President Jiang Zemin’s bed. The US has never admitted such a plot.
