U.N. to Probe U.K. Spying on Climate Summit After Snowden Revelations 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he will launch a probe into
reports that Britain spied on fellow governments at global climate
summits in 2009 and 2010. A document released by National Security
Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed a spy from the British
intelligence agency GCHQ embedded with the British climate delegation.
The news comes as negotiators meet in Venezuela ahead of the climate
summit in Lima, Peru, next month. Last year documents from Snowden
showed the NSA spied on foreign governments before and during the 2009
U.N. climate summit in Copenhagen.
