QURIKY WORLD ... Berlin spy HQ springs a leak as thieves tap into building

GERMANY: This could be Germany’s very own Watergate. The German spy agency’s new headquarters was flooded by water after several taps were removed by thieves on its upper floors, police said.

The nearly-completed Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) building in the heart of Berlin suffered millions in water damage on several floors of the mostly vacant structure.

“Several water taps were stolen and that caused extensive damage,” a Berlin police spokesman said. He said police had not ruled out a political motive or a criminal motive, such as revenge for unpaid bills.
