Former CIA agent dies in Cuba

HAVANA, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- A former CIA spy who named fellow agents in a tell-all book about the agency has died in Cuba, the communist island's state-run newspaper reported Wednesday.

Philip Agee, age 72, died Monday of complications following what was described as ulcer surgeries, Granma newspaper reported.

Agee resigned from the Central Intelligence Agency in the late 1960s after serving as an agent for a dozen years, most of them spent in Latin America.

After leaving the CIA, he published a book titled "Inside the Company: CIA Diary." In it, Agee named several agents.

The U.S. government said Agee's tell-all book endangered the lives of the agents and revoked his U.S. passport. After living in Europe, he eventually settled down in Cuba.
