Authorities have arrested and charged U.S. government employee Asif William Rahman for having allegedly leaked classified documents about Israel's preparations for a potential attack against Iran, according to the New York Times.

Rahman reportedly worked for the CIA, Fox News reported.

Rahman was reportedly indicted last week in federal court in Virginia on two counts of willful retention and transmission of classified national defense information. 

Fox News reported FBI agents arrested him Tuesday in Cambodia and he was transported to a federal court in Guam to face charges.
