Washington (CNN) The US has charged a former Air Force intelligence specialist with spying for Iran, according to an indictment unsealed in federal court Wednesday. From 2003 and 2008, Witt's work involved counterintelligence assignments that took her to the Middle East. In May 2012, the FBI warned Witt that she was a target for recruitment by Iranian intelligence services. "If all else fails, I just may go public with a program and do like Snowden :)" Witt wrote to Individual A on June 23. Just nine minutes later, Individual A forwarded Witt's email and its attachments, without comment, to an email address associated with Iran.
