Cameron silent on claim that Britain ‘spied’ on G20 delegates

Documents leaked by US former spy Edward Snowden appear to show that Britain spied on foreign delegates at the 2009 London G20 meetings, a newspaper has reported.

Among the officials targeted were delegates from Nato ally Turkey and from fellow Commonwealth state South Africa, said The Guardian.

Britain used “ground-breaking intelligence capabilities” to monitor communications between officials at the two meetings in April and Sept 2009, the paper reported.
