American spies caught Russian intelligence officers bragging about having convinced oil-rich United Arab Emirates to “work together against the intelligence agencies of the United States and the United Kingdom,” according to a document posted online as part of a major leak in the US intelligence services.

US officials declined to comment on the document, which was viewed by the Associated Press (AP) agency.
