The head of Swedish defence group Saab alleged on Friday that his
cell phone had been bugged repeatedly during negotiations with
Switzerland over Saab's sale of 22 Gripen fighter jets.
"I am
closely watched and I know that my cell phone has been bugged on several
occasions. Text messages have also been sent from my cell phone, in
both Swedish and English, on various occasions and to various contacts,"
Saab chief executive Haakan Buskhe told Sweden's Svenska Dagbladet in
an interview.
He suggested he was a target of industrial
espionage, but did not identify by name the people or companies which
may have been behind the action. (more)
