British Spy Chiefs Claim Snowden Leaks Caused Damage 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
The heads of Britain's three spy agencies faced questions before the
British Parliament Thursday about surveillance practices revealed by
Edward Snowden, including collaboration with the U.S. National Security
Agency. Sir John Sawers, head of MI6, claimed Snowden's leaks have
caused damage.

John Sawers: "The leaks from Snowden have been very damaging. They've
put our operations at risk. It's clear that our adversaries are rubbing
their hands with glee. Al-Qaeda is lapping it up."
