Dubai police chief calls BlackBerry a spy tool
Worries about spying by the US and Israel spurred plans to sharply limit BlackBerry services in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai's police chief said in comments that suggest a tough line in talks with the smart phone maker.
The UAE says it will block BlackBerry e-mail, messaging and Web services October 11 unless authorities can gain access to the encrypted data traffic - a demand by other countries warning of possible bans including India. (AP)
