‘NSA spied on 60mn phone calls in Spain’
The US National Security Agency (NSA) has spied on 60 million telephone calls in Spain in only one month, a report says. ● The Spanish daily El Mundo reported on Sunday that the NSA had gathered the massive data in December 2012. The report was written by Brazil-based journalist Glenn Greenwald and was based on information provided by American surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden. The daily published the report a few days after Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy summoned the US ambassador over earlier spying reports. Rajoy said at the time that he had not yet received any information that the United States spied on his country, but he would receive information in a meeting with the US envoy.
