WASHINGTON - A married couple in their 70s was accused Friday of spying for Fidel Castro's Cuba for 30 years while the husband was a top intelligence analyst at the State Department.
Walter Kendall Myers, known as "Agent 202" to the Cubans, and his wife, Gwendolyn Steingraber Myers, "Agent 123" and "E-634," were nabbed at a Washington hotel following an undercover FBI sting.
They allegedly admitted their treachery spanned decades, U.S. officials said.
"It's a serious compromise," said one U.S. official, who compared it to the breaches by Pentagon spy-for-Cuba Ana Montes and FBI agent-turned-Russian-spy Robert Hanssen.
