EU Assembly Approves Rules on Anti-Terrorism Data Retention

A Reuters newswire article by Huw Jones, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

The European Parliament on Wednesday adopted new rules drawn up by the European Union to store phone and Internet data for up to two years to fight terrorism and other serious crime.

The measure was approved in record time after being proposed by the European Commission in September, and is part of the 25-nation bloc's response to the terrorist attacks in Madrid in 2004 and in London this year.
