CIA to release more data on Nazi employees

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has agreed to release more information about Nazi war criminals it hired during the Cold War. Under the 'Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act' of 1998 US government agencies are required to release all information they have on Nazi war criminals. The law has led to the release of more than 8 million pages of documents, including 1.25 million from the CIA, but until now the agency had only provided a general description of the operational tasks performed by war criminals but not what individuals did for the agency.
