"If that [interception] is true, it is extremely regrettable for the allied countries," Suga, who was among the NSA’s targets, said.
The NSA telephone interception target list included the Japanese Cabinet Office members, the Central Bank as well as the finance and economy ministries, Mitsubishi’s natural gas division and the Mitsui conglomerate’s petroleum division.
Japan is the latest NSA’s spying target among the US allies, uncovered by WikiLeaks. The revelation followed recently published documents unveiling the agency's eavesdropping practices on French, Saudi and German high-ranking officials.
