The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) spying scandal confirms North Korea's belief that the United States "does the worst things in the world" and is the world's biggest violator of human rights, state news outlet Korea Central News Agency said in a commentary published on Monday.

Responding to allegations that the NSA tapped the phones of millions of American citizens and foreign heads of state, the KCNA said that U.S. attempts to spy on increasing numbers of people were part of a plan "to realize world domination".
