The plans were stolen from the NATO headquarters of Allied Supreme Commander Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway at Fontainebleau, France, officials said.
Agents of the Surete Nationale—Belgium's equivalent of Scotland Yard—arrested Erich Klare as the suspected spy.
Klare was arrested early this morning in Herbesthal, a frontier station near the German border, after hundreds of police had blocked off the entire area in a dramatic search.
It was reported that Klare possessed certain documents the nature of which was not immediately disclosed.
