Reporters without Borders has filed a complaint against Germany's intelligence service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst. It says the agency was eavesdropping on conversations the organization had with foreign partners, journalists and other persons and thus threatening the freedom of the press and the protection of sources in Germany.
