NSA chief denies collecting European phone records

None

The director of the National Security Agency says millions of telephone phone records of European citizens were swept up as part of a NATO program to protect the alliance's member nations and military operations.

 

Gen. Keith Alexander told a House Intelligence panel Tuesday that the US did not collect the European records alone, as was reported over the last week to an outcry of criticism across Europe. (AP)
