Mark Hosenball<\/strong> President Barack Obama recently ordered the National Security Agency to curtail eavesdropping on the United Nations headquarters in New York as part of a review of U.S. electronic surveillance, according to a U.S. official familiar with the decision.<\/p>\n Obama’s order is the latest known move by the White House to limit the NSA’s vast intelligence collection, in the wake of protests by allies, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, over U.S. spying on foreign heads of state.<\/p>\n The full extent of U.S. eavesdropping on the United Nations is not publicly known, nor is it clear whether the United States has stopped all monitoring of diplomats assigned to the U.N. in New York or elsewhere around the world.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This article was posted: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 2:16 pm<\/p>\n Tags: big brother<\/a>, nsa<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <!– this is where we need to show the related articles <\/p>\n
