Australia ambassador summoned amid Asia US spying reports
Indonesia has summoned Australia's ambassador amid reports that Australian embassies have been used as part of a US-led spying network in Asia.
The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) reported that diplomatic posts in Asia were being used to intercept phone calls and data.
China has also demanded an explanation from the US over the allegations.
The reports were based on a US National Security Agency document leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
