Snowden NSA: Germany to investigate Merkel 'phone tap'

BERLIN: -- Germany is to investigate allegations by US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden that the US government bugged Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone.


Federal prosecutor Harald Range told the German parliament's legal affairs committee that an investigation would be held against "unknown" persons.

Ms Merkel has publicly asked for an explanation for the alleged spying by the US National Security Agency (NSA).

The inquiry was announced as US President Barack Obama visited Europe.

They sure are taking their sweet time getting around to investigating something that happened about 2 years ago. I hope she changed her phone number since then.

The NSA and the CIA should be hauled before the international criminal court.

Can add to illegal spying charges outside of their jurisdiction..... supplying arms to rebels.

The US think they can just do whatever they want with the rest of the world, it is time it was all brought to an abrupt end.

Timing, perhaps.

Just realizing this now? It has been this way for a very, very long time and nothing is gonna change this reality.

Bring it to an end and then what? The US is not the only one in the game!

Mr Range also keeps it open to investigate the mass spying in Germany. Local investigations are in progress ... after that, a decision will be made to extend investigations against the NSA and others ...

Mr Obama told the German chancellor last month that he was "pained" that Mr Snowden's disclosures had strained the US-German relationship.

The US leader said he had directed US intelligence agencies to weigh the privacy interests of non-Americans as well as US citizens and residents, "in everything that they do".

He's not "pained" that it happened, only "pained" that it was revealed.

He has also not given an assurance that it would not continue to happen, just that the intelligence agencies should consider it.
