"France's Justice Minister has canvassed possible asylum for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden as WikiLeaks and French newspapers promise further revelations of US espionage against the French government and private companies.
Justice Minister Christiane Taubira said on Thursday that she "wouldn't be surprised" if France decided to offer political asylum to Mr Assange, who is living at Ecuador's embassy in London, and Mr Snowden, who remains in exile in Russia.
WikiLeaks, in collaboration with the French daily newspaper Liberation and the news website Mediapart, this week published leaked US National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence reports that revealed the US intercepted the communications of three successive French presidents between 2006 and at least 2012.
"If France decides to offer asylum to Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, I wouldn't be surprised. It's a possibility," Ms Taubira said in a television interview. "
