The NSA's 'The Q Group' Is The Organization That Is Hunting NSA Leaker Edward Snowden



Secret Agency 'The Q Group' Was Hunting Edward Snowden For Weeks Before NSA Leaks -- News.com.au

Former CIA employee and IT contractor Mr Snowden threw the US National Security Agency into turmoil last week when he leaked details of a program called PRISM that spied on the internet use of non US citizens, including their emails, Skype calls and social media.
