Russian, US spy suspects brace for possible swap - MSNewsNow.com - Jackson, MS
MOSCOW (AP) - Evidence is mounting that Russia and the United States are preparing for the largest spy swap since the Cold War.
In Moscow, riot police on Thursday secured the perimeter of a prison thought to be holding convicted spies for the West as convoy of armored vehicles arrived at the compound.
In New York, a federal court is set to decide the fate of ten people arrested and suspected of spying for Russia.
Lawyers say a resolution could be reached as early as Thursday.
Security analyst Pavel Felgenhauer told The Associated Press he is sure a Cold War-style spy exchange is imminent.
Felgenhauer says Moscow's political moves since the United States charged the 10 people with working as unregistered Russian government agents was a "de facto acknowledgment" of their guilt.
