[Disir]

An employee of Germany's intelligence service has been arrested on suspicion of spying for the US, reports say.

The man is said to have been trying to gather details about a German parliamentary committee that is investigating claims of US espionage.

German authorities have asked the US ambassador for "swift clarification"

German media say the man arrested this week is a 31-year-old employee of the federal service, the BND or Bundesnachrichtendienst.

The German federal prosecutor's office confirmed the man's arrest, but gave no other details.

A spokesman for Ms Merkel said she had been informed of the arrest, as had the members of the nine-strong parliamentary committee investigating the activities of foreign intelligence agencies in Germany.

"The matter is serious, it is clear," spokesman Steffen Seibert told the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper,

Der Spiegel news magazine said the man was believed to have passed secret documents to a US contact in exchange for money.

However, one unnamed politician told Reuters news agency the suspect had offered his services to the US voluntarily.

How hypocritical. Its okay for America to spy on whatever country it pleases, but if a country does the same to them, its an outrage.

ZERO. We protect the world from assholes. Germany has proven, throughout history, to be the biggest asshole of them all. They shouldn't even be allowed to be a sovereign nation. As the EU crumbles...you will see more German and aggression. The hate is already there. It would be impotence and ignorance if we did not keep a close eye on Germany. They have created some of the most despicable people known to humankind and they are guilty of some of the greatest atrocities known to humanity!
