The meeting came on the day when former Guardian journalist, Glenn Greenwald, the man who helped former CIA contractor Edward Snowden leak documents on the extent of US spying, published an article in Spain's El Mundo newspaper. It alleged that NSA had spied on over 60 million telephone calls in Spain between Dec 10, 2012 and Jan 8, 2013.
The document, entitled 'Spain last 30 days', reportedly mentioned the calls and although it did not give details of their contents, it did give details of the numbers used, the places the calls were made from and the durations of the conversations.
The espionage exercise also included intrusions into personal information through internet navigators which were used to access private e-mail accounts as well as accounts in the social networking sites, Twitter and Facebook.
