WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment on Tuesday alleging that Chinese intelligence officers conspired with hackers and company insiders to break into private companies' computer systems and steal intellectual property.

The kinds of information that prosecutors say the Chinese agents stole included details about a turbofan engine used in commercial airplanes.
