Wen Ho Lee Agrees to More FBI Interviews

Former Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Wen Ho Lee, who was jailed for nine months after being accused of downloading nuclear secrets, has agreed to further FBI questioning under a modified plea agreement. Lee will undergo almost 13 more hours of questioning over two days. He had agreed to 10 days of questioning as part of an agreement in which he pleaded guilty in September to one count of mishandling nuclear secrets and was sentenced to time served. He had been charged with 59 counts. Lee was fired from the lab near Albuquerque last year and accused of downloading nuclear information to unsecured computer tapes. The debriefings are aimed at locating seven missing computer tapes, which Lee has said he destroyed.
