Turkey calls German ambassador over spying claims

Turkey's Foreign Ministry says the German ambassador has been summoned for talks over reports that Germany's foreign intelligence agency had eavesdropped on conversations between officials in the US and Turkey, both NATO allies.

 

German magazine Der Spiegel reported Saturday that the agency, known by its German acronym BND, had listened to calls made by US Secretary of State John Kerry and his predecessor Hillary Clinton. It also cited a confidential 2009 BND document listing Turkey as a target for German intelligence gathering.
