Spy's gathering (5)

I believe the answer is:

intel

(Other definitions for intel that I've seen before include "US chip manufacturer" , "silicon chip manufacturer" , "Chip manufacturer based in California" , "military info" , "Information" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
