German Parliamentary Committee investigating the NSA spying scandal

BBC dismayed at German ‘BND spying on journalists’

Germany’s foreign intelligence service BND spied on media e-mails, faxes and phone calls, including more than a dozen BBC numbers in London and Afghanistan, Spiegel news reported.

The surveillance, which began in 1999, also extended to Reuters news agency and the New York Times, it is alleged.

“We are disappointed to hear these claims,” a BBC spokesperson said.
