An "Israeli" has been arrested in Egypt for reported engagement in espionage during the popular revolution in the country. Judicial sources have referred to the suspect as an intelligence officer, but have not identified him by name, Reuters reported.

The suspect was trying to recruit the young people to commit treason against Cairo during the popular protests in the Egyptian capital's Liberation Square, Reuters reported.
"He was there on a daily basis inciting youths towards sectarian strife. He was distributing money to some of them," said a judiciary source, adding that he would try to provoke the potential recruits into fighting the Egyptian armed forces.

The arrest was enabled by the youths, who would be approached by the suspect.
