NEW YORK (AP) - A former U.S. Army mechanical engineer has been
arrested on charges that he slipped classified documents about
nuclear weapons to an employee of the Israeli Consulate.

Prosecutors say it was the same consultate employee who received information from convicted Pentagon spy Jonathan Pollard.

The arrest of Ben-ami Kadish is being detailed Tuesday by the U.S. attorney in Manhattan and FBI officials.

A criminal complaint says the activities occurred from 1979 through 1985. Kadish worked at the U.S. Army's Armament Research,
Development and Engineering Center in Dover, N.J.

The complaint says Kadish took home classified documents several
times, and the Israeli government worker photographed them in Kadish's basement.

The documents included information about nuclear weapons, a modified version of an F-15 fighter jet, and the U.S. Patriot missile air defense system.
