Abraham Teklu Lemma, 54, a former information technology contractor at the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the National Reconnaissance Office, pleaded guilty today to conspiring to commit espionage on behalf of the government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, announced @USAttyPirro.
