American Amir Hekmati, Alleged CIA 'Spy' Held in Iran Had No Intel Training - ABC News: "The Arizona-born man accused by Iran of being a spy for the CIA never had any intelligence training while serving in the U.S. military, according to Marine Corps records, despite Iranian claims.
Service records provided to ABC News show Iranian-American Amir Hekmati enlisted in the Marines after graduating high school in Flint, Mich., in 2001 and joined the infantry, completing basic training at Camp Pendleton in California. The 28-year-old briefly attended the Defense Language Institute for the Marines in Monterey, Calif., and his father told ABC News he worked as a translator, but records show Hekmati was officially a rifleman only. A Marine spokesperson said it was possible he could have served as a translator for his Marine unit in a more informal capacity."
