The FBI is investigating a Dutch woman, who worked at the US embassy in The Hague.
The woman is believed to have visited anti-American websites, according to messages from US diplomats revealed by WikiLeaks.
The woman, who has dual Dutch and Croatian nationality, had worked at the embassy as telephone operator since the end of August 2009. She was dismissed in February this year.
It is not known how far the FBI investigation has progressed. It began following a tip from a colleague about her internet use. She allegedly commented on sites on conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks and allegedly wrote “just beautiful” in response to a YouTube video called Winds of Paradise describing the virtues of the Jihad and al-Qaeda.
The Dutch foreign ministry has declined to comment on the case, saying that is a matter for the US authorities.
