The FBI is running ads on Facebook in the Washington, DC area seemingly designed to target and recruit Russian spies as well as those who know about their work, CNN has learned.
One ad seen by CNN features a stock photo of a young woman at her graduation with her family. Russian text overlaid on the image reads,"For your future, for the future of your family." Another shows a picture of a chess set, with Russian text that translates to,"Isn't it time for you to make your move?" This ad shows a stock photo of a young woman at her graduation with her family.
"The FBI will use all legal means available to locate individuals with information that can help protect the United States from threats to our national security.""Russia has long been a counterintelligence threat to the US." and the FBI will"continue to adapt our investigative and outreach techniques to counter the threat," he added. Bob Baer, a former CIA agent and current CNN intelligence and security analyst said he thought the ads were a good idea.
