Australian intelligence tried to listen in to Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's mobile phone, material leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden reveals.
Documents obtained by the ABC and Guardian Australia, from material leaked by the former contractor at the US National Security Agency, show Australian intelligence attempted to listen in to Mr Yudhoyono's telephone conversations on at least one occasion and tracked activity on his mobile phone for 15 days in August 2009.
The top-secret documents are from Australia's electronic intelligence agency, the Defence Signals Directorate (now called the Australian Signals Directorate), and show for the first time how far Australian spying on Indonesia has reached.
The DSD motto stamped on the bottom of each page reads: "Reveal their secrets – protect our own."
The documents show that Australian intelligence actively sought a long-term strategy to continue to monitor the president's mobile phone activity.
The surveillance targets also included senior figures in his inner circle and even the president's wife Kristiani Herawati (also known as Ani Yudhoyono). Full story...
