European officials 'shocked' over report on NSA spying Jun 30th 2013, 12:52 European officials expressed shock Sunday over emerging allegations that America's National Security Agency bugged and hacked European Union offices.  The allegations were carried in a report by the German magazine Der Spiegel. They are the latest claims to surface regarding NSA surveillance activity, as on-the-lam leaker Edward Snowden feeds a series of sensitive documents to the media.  European Parliament President Martin Schulz is demanding a clarification from the NSA about the alleged program.  "I am deeply worried and shocked about the allegations of U.S. authorities spying on EU offices," Mr. Schulz said in a statement, according to The Wall Street Journal. "If the allegations prove to be true, it would be an extremely serious matter which will have a severe impact on EU-U.S. relations."  Der Spiegel reported that the NSA appears to have installed bugs in an EU building in Washington, D.C., as well as infiltrated their computer network. According to the report, this let U.S. officials monitor discussions and emails.  U.S. officials have warned that the string of NSA leaks are damaging to national security.  Snowden is believed to still be at the Moscow airport. Russian officials so far have refused to expel him to the U.S., claiming he is in a transit zone and not technically in their hands.  Meanwhile, Vice President Biden on Friday called Ecuador's president to urge the country to reject a request by Snowden for asylum in that country.
