Germans bungle over spy bugs

    A GERMAN intelligence-gathering operation to uncover suspected terrorists and criminals went spectacularly wrong after phone tapping bills were sent to people being bugged.

    About 50 people under investigation by police received the demands in mobile phone invoices.

    Many of them established that their phones were being tapped because the bills listed calls made to a number which was a recording device used by the intelligence service to monitor conversations.

    Police said they held the mobile phone operator responsible. Legal action has not been ruled out. ( Daily Telegraph, London)

    Now thats a **** up!

    :rolleyes: :D
