Charges of spying 'inaccurate and misleading': United States

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The US intelligence chief said Tuesday French newspaper reports about America's espionage activities abroad contained inaccurate and misleading information, the latest flap stemming from US intelligence-gathering efforts.
Meanwhile, the United States faced anger on yet another front in the unfolding saga, this time from Mexico.
The key US neighbor and ally to the south said it would investigate allegations that the United States spied on the emails of President Enrique Pena Nieto and his predecessor, in yet more fallout from leaks by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
The French newspaper Le Monde reported Monday that millions of phone calls in France were monitored by the National Security Agency.
It followed up Tuesday by publishing details of US spying on French embassies around the world.
While France told the United States to stop snooping on its citizens, the US Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, said in a statement Tuesday night that reports from Le Monde contained "inaccurate and misleading" information about America's foreign intelligence activities.
