Germany's foreign intelligence agency helped the Central Investigation Agency track down Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, before the Al Qaeda leader was killed by United States special forces in May 2011, according to a media report today.
Germany's two main intelligence services used a special surveillance programme of the United States to collect vast amounts of communications data, even as the government continued to deny prior knowledge of such operations, a report claimed on Sunday.
Germany has ruled out granting a visa or asylum to Central Investigation Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden over concerns that it could worsen the already serious diplomatic row with the United States, sparked off over spy allegations.
