Former CIA officer suspected of passing intel to China may have also jeopardized US assets in Russia

A former CIA case officer who was arrested on Tuesday on a single count of illegally possessing classified information — real names and phone numbers of covert CIA sources, locations of covert facilities, and meeting locations — may have compromised US assets in Russia, according to current and former US officials cited in a NBC News report published Friday.

A secret task force involving the FBI and CIA suspected that 53-year-old ex-CIA officer, Jerry Chun Shing Lee, could have been spying for China, during a period when at least 20 CIA informants in China were executed. FBI agents were said to have received information that Lee, who left the CIA in 2007, was cooperating with Chinese intelligence officers while working in Hong Kong, according to sources cited in the report.

British tourists in Montego Bay, Jamaica warned stay in resorts after state of emergency declared

British tourists on holiday in the popular Jamaican destination of Montego Bay have been urged to stay in their resorts while the military carries out a crackdown on violent crime.

The UK Foreign Office (FCO) warned holidaymakers that "intensive law enforcement activities" were expected in St James Parish after a state of emergency was declared there on Thursday.

Around 200,000 Britons visit Jamaica each year, with many drawn to Montego Bay by its luxury resorts and white sandy beaches, however the surrounding parish has seen a surge in gang-related killing and violence, according to authorities.

The FCO has said holidaymakers should limit their movements outside their resorts in the area, especially if travelling at night.

Travellers arriving and departing were also urged to only use transport booked through their hotels.

Jamaica Constabulary Force Police Commissioner George Quallo told the Jamaica Information Service (JIS) that 335 murders were recorded in St James Parish in 2017, almost double other parishes, with "numerous gangs" operating in the area.
