A U.S. diplomat was expelled from Russia on Tuesday after the Kremlin's security forces said that he tried to recruit a Russian agent.

The FSB counter intelligence service claimed Ryan Christopher Fogle was caught red-handed seeking to recruit a Russian intelligence officer.

The Russian agency displayed evidence that they claimed to have found on Fogle including wigs, packets of cash, a knife, map and compass, and a letter promising millions for 'long-term cooperation'.

Seized: Ryan Christopher Fogle was arrested and taken to FSB headquarters at the Lubyanka, Moscow, and later handed over to the U.S. embassy in keeping with diplomatic protocols

The FSB, the successor to the Soviet-era KGB, identified the diplomat as Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, detaining him briefly overnight.

It alleged Fogle was a CIA officer trying to recruit a Russian counter-terrorism officer who specializes in the volatile Caucasus region in southern Russia, where the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects had their ethnic roots.

Fogle was handed over to U.S. Embassy officials, declared persona non grata and ordered to leave Russia immediately. He has diplomatic immunity, which protects him from arrest.

The State Department would only confirm that Fogle worked as an embassy employee, but wouldn't give any details about his employment record or responsibilities in Russia.

Some officials also referred inquiries to the CIA, which declined comment.

Fogle was the first American diplomat to be publicly accused of spying in Russia in about a decade.

While relations between the two countries have been strained, officials in both Washington and Moscow sought to play down the incident.

The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul to appear on Wednesday in connection with the case. McFaul said he would not comment on the spying allegation.

Russian officials expressed indignation the U.S. would carry out an espionage operation at a time when the two countries have been working to improve counterterrorism cooperation.

'Such provocative actions in the spirit of the Cold War do nothing to strengthen mutual trust,' the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
