| US-Russia spy swap done |
|
News and Images Desk July 10: The United States and Russia completed what has been termed a dramatic spy swap involving 10 Russian agents arrested in the US last month and four people convicted of spying in Russia. The Russian agents touched down at Domodedovo airport south of Moscow on Friday after having been handed over to Russian authorities at an airport in Vienna. Later, a plane carrying the four freed by Russia landed in Washington after a flight via a Royal Air Force base at Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, central England. A US administration official said that the quick and pragmatic arrangement of the spy swap underlined the progress made in US-Russian relations. source: Internet/rm/1245hrs |
