Germany asks US intelligence station chief to leave country

Germany’s government requested the United States’ chief intelligence official in Berlin to leave the country on Thursday in connection with an investigation into US spying activities in Germany.

The move comes after two recently reported cases of suspected US espionage in the country, and a year-long spat over reported NSA spying.



“The request was made in light of the ongoing investigation by the chief federal prosecutor and questions that have been raised for months about the activities of US intelligence services in Germany,” government spokesman Steffen Seibert said in a statement.
