Aug. 6 (UPI) -- A 22-year-old Army soldier at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, was arrested Wednesday and charged with attempting to provide Russia with information on military combat operations obtained with top-secret security clearance.
"Mission accomplished," Taylor Adam Lee wrote in an online message he believed was to a representative of the Russian government, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release. The information involved the M1A2 Abrams tank.
In El Paso, Lee made his first appearance in federal court after his arrest.
Lee was a tank crewman assigned to the 1st Armored Division, which includes tanks, an official told KVIA-TV, and included a photo of him.
