BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombian military intelligence operatives intercepted phone communications of the government's negotiating team at peace talks with Marxist FARC rebels, a newsweekly said on Tuesday, prompting the interior ministry to announce a probe of the reported espionage.
Interior Minister Aurelio Iragorri said the government appeared to the victim of the surveillance. President Juan Manuel Santos and his Cabinet ministers had never ordered the interception of phone communications, Iragorri told Caracol Radio.
