Europe
Spy bugs found in EU HQ
2003-03-19
Heh heh heh heh heh...
Electronic bugging devices have been discovered in offices used by French and German delegates at a European Union headquarters building in Brussels. The building is the location of an EU summit due to open on Thursday. EU spokesman Dominique-George Marro says the EU is investigating but has no immediate idea who is responsible. He says listening devices were also found in offices used by other EU nations, but declined to say which or how many. "We found anomalies in the telephone lines" during regular security checks a few days ago, Mr Marro said in a telephone interview. He said only a small number of lines had been affected.

#5  My guess would be Russia. Or those were the bugs that were meant to be found, and the Illuminati still has the place bugged.

#4  We might have done it, but I doubt it. But if we did, we wouldn't get caught. And we'd probably use somebody else's bugs, just to be sure.

Can't tell the players without a program.

#3  I can't believe we'd be dumb enough to get caught. New Europe would be more inclined to bug the EU.

#1  I would imagine that it was the Germans and French snooping on each other. No-one else cares what they have to say anymore
