European leaders have reacted with anger after it emerged that the US National Security Agency had monitored their telephone conversations after obtaining their numbers from a government official.
A leaked National Security Agency document showed that US spies listened in on at least 35 world leaders’ phone calls after asking senior White House officials to share their contacts.
US official alone was said to have passed on 200 numbers, including those of the 35 world leaders, who were immediately “tasked” for monitoring by the NSA according to the 2006 memo, leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden and reported by The Guardia
