British intelligence agencies intercepted the communications of foreign politicians in London for the 2009 G20 summit, the Guardian reports.
The details were revealed in documents uncovered by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The Guardian reports that some delegates were tricked into using fake internet cafes so spy agencies could read their emails.
The newspaper is also reporting that former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev was also spied on by UK-based US agents at the same G20 summit.
The details of the intercept are laid out in a National Security Agency briefing which was shared with high-ranking officials from New Zealand, Britain, Australia and Canada.
Britain is about to begin hosting the G8 summit later today.
