Latest Snowden leak? Sweden spied on Russia for US

Sweden’s FRA intelligence agency has been spying on Russian politicians on behalf of the United States, according to documents leaked by Edward Snowden.

Swedish TV station Sveriges Television reported that Sweden was a key regional partner for the US National Security Agency because major telecommunications cables pass through it (suggesting bulk rather than targeted collection). FRA spokesman Fredrik Wallin said “no comment,” when the TV station asked for his reaction to the document. According to Sweden’s report, the NSA document was dated April 18, 2013.
