Federal law enforcement officials revealed on Tuesday that they the arrested of Ben-Ami Kadish on charges that he participated in a crimonal conspiracy to disclose to the Government of Israel documents related to the national defense of the United States and, in connection with that unauthorized disclosure, that Kadish participated in a conspiracy to act as an agent for the Government of Israel. According to the Complaint filed in Manhattan federal court: From about 1979 through 1985, Kadish, a citizen of the United States, was a mechanical engineer, employed at the U.S. Army's Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center at the Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, New Jersey (the "Arsenal"). The Arsenal kept a library of documents with classified information related to the national defense of the United States (the "Library"). On numerous occasions during this time period, Kadish borrowed classified documents (the "Classified Documents") from the Library and took
the Classified Documents to his residence in New Jersey (the "Residence"). At the Residence, Kadish would then provide the Classified
Documents to a co-conspirator not named in the indictment as a defendant ("CC-1"), who would photograph the Classified Documents in the
basement of the Kadish Residence.
