Federico Lombardi: U.S. National Security Agency NSA

U.S. National Security Agency NSA: Panorama magazine said that among 46 million phone calls followed by the U.S. National Security Agency NSA in Italy from December 10, 2012, to January 8, 2013, were conversations in and out of the Vatican, according to Reuters. Asked to comment on the report, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said: "We are not aware of anything on this issue and in any case we have no concerns about it." VATICAN CITY - An Italian magazine said on Wednesday that a United States spy agency had eavesdropped on Vatican phone calls, possibly including when former Pope Benedict's successor was under discussion, but the Holy See said it had no knowledge of any such activity. In a press release before full publication on Thursday, Panorama said the "NSA had tapped the pope". It cited no source for its information. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
