Chinese national arrested trying to photograph restricted US military site

Authorities arrested a Chinese national Thursday for taking pictures of a restricted area at a US Navy installation in Key West, Florida. The case mirrors a near-identical incident that occurred last December, in which a Chinese student was caught capturing images of buildings and antenna arrays at the same base.

The base, Naval Air Station Key West, is home to the Joint Interagency Task Force South, which monitors illicit trafficking in the air and at sea.
