There’s new information about the young Lebanese woman who pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges she lied about her background to get jobs at the FBI and CIA.

Current and former intelligence officials tell NBC News that Nada Nadim Prouty had a much bigger role than officials at the FBI and CIA first acknowledged. In fact, Prouty was assigned to the CIA’s most sensitive post, Baghdad, and participated in the debriefings of high-ranking al- Qaida detainees.

“Early on, she was an active agent in the debriefings,” said one former intelligence official.  “It was more than translation.”

Moreover, as she was moving between agencies in 2003, Prouty accessed the FBI’s Automated Case Support system and obtained information on investigations into Hezbollah being conducted by the FBI’s Detroit Field Office.
