MEXICO CITY -- A report citing documents from National
Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden says the U.S. gained access to the email
system of former Mexican President Felipe Calderon.
The German news magazine Der Spiegel cited the Snowden
documents in a story posted Sunday.
Der Spiegel says the documents describe an operation dubbed
"Flat liquid" that claim to have accessed Mexico's
"presidencia" domain, which was also purportedly used by members of
Calderon's Cabinet.
Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, where Calderon is
now a fellow, did not respond to emails requesting comment.
Earlier, a document dated June 2012 indicated the NSA had
read current Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's emails before he was
elected.
Pena Nieto has said that would be an illegal act if it
occurred, and his administration has demanded an investigation.
