Members of the CIA and the National Security Agency (NSA) used diplomatic cover to collect information from the camouflaged listening post in Geneva and on the roofs of a dozen other American embassies in Europe, the magazine said. The spying, conducted by a combined ‘Special Collection Service’ also tapped into radio and satellite communications, the publication said.”
