More details emerging
| quote: | Russian femme fatale Anna Chapman collecting space program secrets
It has emerged that accused Russian spy Anna Chapman, arrested earlier this week, was collecting information about the US space program.
The striking redhead allegedly used her charm and influence to extract sensitive information from unwitting sources, in particular regarding the development of the next-generation space shuttle and the proposed anti-ballistic missle defence shield. This information was then allegedly relayed to Moscow through a weekly meeting with her Russian contact. It is unknown exactly how long Ms Chapman had been meeting with her alleged contact, or how much sensitive information had been stolen.
In addition to the weekly meetings with her contact, Ms Chapman allegedly used other means to relay information, including so-called "dead-drops", where document packages are left for other spies to collect, or coded emails using "one time pads" - single use uncrackable codes. In one instance, she and her boyfriend even made a coded video which was uploaded on the video-sharing website, Youtube. The sending of messages in plain sight is a relatively common means of relaying material with a long history of success, sources said.
An FBI spokesman told reporters "We will never comment about an ongoing investigation regarding national security."
