Germany \\\'may expel\\\' CIA man in US spy row
Thursday, 10 July 2014
The German government is considering the expulsion of a CIA official in Berlin in response to two cases of alleged spying by the US, reports say. The official is believed to have acted as a CIA contact at the US embassy in Berlin, in a scandal that has infuriated German politicians. A 31-year-old German intelligence official was arrested last week on suspicion of spying. Reports on Wednesday said an inquiry had also begun into a German soldier. ‘The German government has demanded that the American intelligence representative here in Germany leave the country,’ said Clemens Binninger, an MP with the ruling Christian Democrat party, according to BBC.
