The Indian Embassy in the US is among the list of 38 diplomatic missions which were being spied upon by American intelligence agencies, as per the latest top secret US National Security Agency documents leaked by the whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The US was using a wide range of spying methods including bugging, the Guardian daily in London said quoting the leaked report. "One document lists 38 embassies and missions, describing them as 'targets'. "It details an extraordinary range of spying methods used against each target, from bugs implanted in electronic communications gear to taps into cables to the collection of transmissions with specialised antennae," the Guardian said.
