The BND acts as an early warning system to alert the German government to threats to German interests from abroad. It depends heavily on wiretapping and electronic surveillance of international communications. It collects and evaluates information on a variety of areas such as international non-state terrorism, weapons of mass destruction proliferation and illegal transfer of technology, organized crime, weapons and drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal migration and information warfare. [Thanks Wikipedia :P]
In recent years the BND has expanded into watching over the activity of potential security risks that take shape in a number of ways, from large paramilitary groups to high powered metahumans and mutants.
