Thirty-eight embassies and missions are outlined as ‘targets’ on one document, reports the Guardian. The document details the range of spying techniques employed, ‘from bugs implanted in electronic communications gear to taps into cables to the collection of transmissions with specialized antennae.’ Along with ‘traditional ideological adversaries’ and ‘sensitive Middle Eastern countries,’ the unofficial roster of spy targets includes French, Italian, and Greek embassies, as well as Japan, Mexico, South Korea, India, and Turkey.”
