Germany is investigating a new suspect on allegations of spying for the U.S. just days after the arrest of an intelligence official on similar charges. The German government says it is probing claims an official in the Defense Ministry spied for the United States. The first suspect, detained last week, reportedly admitted to passing on documents to a U.S. contact. The alleged espionage is said to entail a U.S. effort to monitor a German parliamentary probe of the initial revelations of National Security Agency spying in Germany exposed by whistleblower Edward Snowden. Reports based on Snowden’s leaks revealed vast NSA operations in Germany, including the bugging of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone.
