France and Germany furious over claims US bugged EU offices

Ex-CIA analyst Edward Snowden is said to be the source of the leaks

France and Germany have reacted very sharply to news that US has been bugging EU offices and are urging the United States to come clean over claims that its intelligence services have been spying on key EU offices.

The reaction comes after a report published in Germany's Der Spiegel magazine said European Union offices in the US and Europe had been bugged.

Fugitive ex-CIA analyst Edward Snowden is said to be the source of the leaks.
