[Still not a squeak from AP and Reuters...] AFP. 6 March 2003. Chile opts for diplomatic route over US wire-tapping incident: president. SANTIAGO -- Chile will protest an alleged wire-tapping incident by the United States through diplomatic channels, President Ricardo Lagos said Thursday. An article Sunday in the British newspaper The Observer said the United States has been tapping UN Security Council diplomats' telephones ahead of a crucial vote on a new US-Spanish-British resolution to authorize war on Iraq. The Chilean president made only passing reference to the matter, and did not state whether Santiago would make a formal protest over the incident. "The government does what it is required to do via diplomatic channels and is doing so. Don't worry," he told reporters. Lagos's comments came ahead of Foreign Minister Soledad Alvear's trip to New York ahead of Friday's Security Council meeting. Alvear postponed her flight early Thursday so that she could meet with Lagos. The Foreign Ministry has said that it had been told the issue of electronic espionage in Chile and other countries would be investigated, as the Security Council's 15 members prepare to take a formal stance over a new Iraq resolution. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
