BRUSSELS (AP) \u2014 A Canadian<\/a> woman was arrested and accused of espionage while working as an intern in the operational headquarters of the NATO<\/a> military alliance, Belgian authorities said Saturday.<\/p>\n

Belgium’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office said it launched an espionage investigation after NATO\u2019s security services tipped off Belgium\u2019s military intelligence. Authorities then detained \u201ca Canadian citizen of Chinese origin\u201d on Friday, a day after raiding the suspect’s home and workplace inside NATO’s vast command center.<\/p>\n
