US spy-row diplomat Ryan Fogle 'leaves Russia

Mr Fogle was ordered to leave Russia five days ago after being accused of trying to recruit a Russian intelligence officer as a spy.

The purported CIA agent was arrested while wearing a blond wig and was briefly detained.

Mr Fogle is said to have been a third secretary at the US embassy in Moscow.

He was declared "persona non grata" for what the Russian foreign ministry called "provocative actions in the spirit of the Cold War".

The US State Department confirmed that Mr Fogle worked at the embassy but would give no details about his job. The CIA has declined to comment.
