NSA spying on German intelligence
Fresh insight shows that the NSA intercepted internal German communications about the kidnapping incident in Yemen. In a list of reports from wiretapped telephone conversations and emails, NSA analysts marked a section of text with the keywords "Germany-Yemen/hostages." The text read: "German BKA reports Western hostages in Yemen are alive, Yemeni officials delay releasing information, 12 July 2009."
