German Foreign Ministry Summons British Ambassador Over Spying Claims
Responding to reporting from The Independent
The British ambassador in Berlin has been called in to Germany's foreign ministry to respond to spying allegations.
The UK's Independent newspaper says the British embassy in Berlin may house a "top-secret listening post".
It cites leaked US National Security Agency (NSA) documents suggesting the UK could be using hi-tech equipment housed on the embassy roof.
Any such activity would be against international law, Berlin says.
