Quote from the article:

  The United States is conducting a secret 'dirty tricks' campaign
  against UN Security Council delegations in New York as part of its
  battle to win votes in favour of war against Iraq.

  Details of the aggressive surveillance operation, which involves
  interception of the home and office telephones and the emails of UN
  delegates in New York, are revealed in a document leaked to The
  Observer.

  The disclosures were made in a memorandum written by a top official at
  the National Security Agency - the US body which intercepts
  communications around the world - and circulated to both senior agents
  in his organisation and to a friendly foreign intelligence agency
  asking for its input.
