<P>The Paris prosecutor's office said it had launched a preliminary 
investigation into the US National Security Agency's Prism surveillance program 
after French rights groups complained it was snooping on citizens' e-mails and 
phone calls. </P>
<P>The probe, which was opened in mid-July, followed a legal complaint earlier 
that month by two human rights groups denouncing US spying methods revealed by 
former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, claiming that French laws had 
been violated and calling for an investigation into reports on US surveillance 
that appeared in Britain's Guardian newspaper, the Washington Post and German 
news magazine Der Spiegel.</P>
