FBI bugging 'scuppered by pillow talk'

A Los Angeles socialite accused of spying for China may have compromised an American operation to bug the Chinese president's plane, intelligence officials fear.
Katrina Leung could have learnt about the bugging attempt from "pillow talk" with her long-term lover, James Smith, an expert on Chinese counter-intelligence at the FBI's Los Angeles office, the officials suspect.
Both Leung and Smith were arrested last week.
China said last year it had found 27 listening devices in a Boeing 767 that had been refitted at a Texas airport for use by President Jiang Zemin.
