WARSAW (Reuters) - Authorities in Poland have arrested two men on suspicion of spying for Russia, a Polish lawmaker briefed on the issue said on Friday, a case likely to aggravate tensions between two countries already at odds over the Ukraine crisis.

Both suspects, an officer working for the Polish ministry of defence and a Warsaw-based lawyer, were detained by Poland's Internal Security Agency (ABW) on Wednesday.
