NSA H#cks Mexican President's Personal Email Account

The National Security Agency (NSA ) of the United States of America has gained access to the Mexican president's personal email account without permission.

This way, NSA got deep insight into Mexico's top government secrets including policy making and the political matters.

This move by NSA is likely to affect the relationship between USA and Mexico and hurt the political ties between the two brother countries.

This operation by the NSA, nicknamed 'Operation Flatliquid,' is described in a top secret paper leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden. Some people say that NSA in particular and USA in general is overstepping their right.

Meanwhile, the present administration of the US president, Barack Obama is pleading with the Supreme Court not to take up the first case it has received on controversial NSA cybersnooping.

According to some top USA government officials, the supreme court has no jurisdiction to handle this case.
