“An NSA catchword surveillance list contains numerous European and German targets, according to a German news magazine. According to its report, a German federal investigator has concluded that US spying was widespread.”
Former federal judge turned government-appointed special investigator Kurt Graulich had found a “large number” of NSA catchwords aimed at entities in two-thirds of all EU nations, German news magazine “Der Spiegel” said on Friday. Graulich, who was appointed by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition in July, is due to submit his 300-page report next Thursday to the German parliament’s inquiry into the activities within Germany of the US National Security Agency (NSA) from 2004 until late 2013.”
