National Security Agency director Gen. Alexander says NSA surveillance has prevented dozens of “critical” terrorist events.
Within the next week, the National Security Agency plans to
publish precise number of terror attacks prevented by the broad
surveillance programs made public by NSA contractor Edward
Snowden. NSA Director Gen. Alexander announced it during his
testimony at a Senate hearing dedicated to cybersecurity.
Answering question about Snowden’s claim that he could wiretap
any phone call in the US, General Alexander said: “False, I know
of no way to do it.”
The hearing is still underway, more details to follow.
