“German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called US President Barack Obama after receiving information that the US may have spied on her mobile phone. A spokesman for Mrs Merkel said the German leader ‘views such practices… as completely unacceptable’. Mrs Merkel called on US officials to clarify the extent of their surveillance in Germany. ‘The United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor,’ White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday. But the spokesman did not address whether Mrs Merkel’s phone had been monitored in the past.”
