The Russian espionage drama intensfied tonight as one of the suspects in the alleged "deep cover" spy ring failed to answer bail in Cyprus.

An arrest warrant was issued for Christopher Metsos, the 11th suspected member of the operation, after he failed to report to a police station in Larnaka, the Guardian has learned.

Metsos, 55, was arrested in Cyprus on Tuesday but, to the surpise of Cypriot police, was released on bail. Ten other accused are in custody in the United States, after the FBI broke up the alleged ring on Monday.

Cypriot police are now searching for Metsos. "An arrest warrant has been issued and if found he will be arrested immediately," an officer at the police station in Larnaka told the Guardian. "He has broken his pledge to be here."
