Snagged

A former FBI bomb expert is pleading guilty to leaking information on counterterrorism operations to reporters. Donald Sachtleben says he told the Associated Press about a U.S. intelligence operation in Yemen last year. The story gained wide attention after the Justice Department seized AP phone records in its hunt for the source of the information. Under the plea deal, he would serve three years and seven months for the leak, making it the longest prison term yet in a civilian case. Sachtleben earlier confessed to charges of pornography involving underage girls. He will spend more than 11 years in prison in total.
