Germany Calls In British Ambassador Over Spying Reports -- Deutsche Welle
The British Ambassador to Germany has been called in by the foreign ministry over spying reports. The Independent newspaper says that Britain is operating a spy post near Germany's parliament and chancellery.
The paper said Tuesday that aerial photographs and documents from the United States' National Security Agency (NSA) indicate that Britain is operating a network of "electronic spy posts" just meters from the Bundestag and chancellor's office in the German capital, Berlin.
The Independent said the documents had been leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
According to the paper, hi-tech equipment allegedly housed on the roof of the British embassy could be being used to monitor communications within the German parliament and government.
