"US setting up new spying agency"
The US has announced the creation of a new intelligence agency led by the CIA to co-ordinate all American overseas spying activities.The National Clandestine Service (NCS) will oversee all human espionage operations - meaning spying by people rather than by technical means.
The move is the latest in the post-9/11 reforms of US intelligence agencies.
Analysts say the NCS restores some authority to the CIA after it lost overall control of US intelligence.
'Expression of confidence'
The chief of the new service will supervise the CIA's espionage operations and co-ordinate all overseas spying, including those of the FBI and the Pentagon.
The director of the new agency, whose identity will remain secret and is simply known as "Jose", will report directly to the head of the CIA, Porter Goss.
