Convicted spy for Russia, Robert Hanssen, found dead in prison at 79.

Robert Hanssen, a former FBI agent who was convicted of espionage and considered one of the most damaging spies in US history, has been found dead in a Colorado prison at the age of 79. Hanssen had been sentenced to life in prison in 2002 for spying for Russia and had compromised numerous human sources, counterintelligence techniques, investigations, and dozens of classified US government documents. He had been due to retire when the FBI caught him "red handed" by giving him a fake assignment and monitoring him with hidden cameras and microphones.
