United States security services denied an Italian magazine report suggesting that they had spied on the Vatican, possibly even listening in to Pope Francis before his election to the papacy.

"The National Security Agency does not target the Vatican. Assertions that NSA has targeted the Vatican, published in Italy's Panorama magazine, are not true," National Security Agency spokesperson Vanee Vines said in a statement late on Wednesday.

Panorama, a weekly owned by the family of former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, claimed that the NSA's surveillance on European partners stretched to tracking the phones of Roman Catholic bishops and cardinals.
