CAIRO (Kyodo) Egyptian authorities have charged a nuclear engineer at the country's Atomic Energy Agency with spying for Israel, along with two foreigners -- a Japanese and an Irishman, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Prosecutor Hesham Badawi told a news conference that Mohamed Sayed Saber Ali, 35, took reports from his workplace with the aim of handing them over to foreign contacts for money.
According to the authorities, the Japanese and the Irishman gave money to Saber Ali in Hong Kong.
Neither of the non-Egyptian suspects, identified as Brian Peter and Shiro Izu, is in custody.
Izu is said to be about 45 years old and a resident of Hong Kong.
