Russian state television has aired footage provided by Russia's security services claiming that another alleged American spy was expelled earlier this year.

Russia yesterday ordered a US diplomat to leave the country after the FSB claimed to have caught him red-handed trying to recruit a Russian agent in Moscow. The FSB alleges that Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the US Embassy, works for the CIA.

In the footage aired today, a man identified only as an FSB operative and sitting in near darkness said a "CIA operative" was expelled in January.

The US Embassy had no immediate comment.
