Not a diplomat. This was a contractor, a locally hired brit rather than a civil servant brought from the uk. He may be a spy, but he doesnt have dimplomatic immunity. These distinctions matter. It looks like he worked as a security guard and may have shared security-related material. I doubt he had wide access to anything properly classified/dangerous. At 57, he was probably looking at retirement and wanted money.
