The US government spied on electronic communications between Americans with no links to terror suspects until a judge ruled it illegal in 2011, officials have acknowledged.

The unlawful program, which involved tens of thousands of emails, was revealed in declassified documents from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which reviews the legality of eavesdropping programs.

The court's opinions are usually kept secret but the government chose to release the documents amid a firestorm over sweeping surveillance operations, following bombshell leaks from former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.

Officials said the court rulings had been declassified to better inform the public about how the eavesdropping programs are carried out with what they called rigorous "oversight".

Under the program addressed by the court in 2011, the NSA had diverted a massive trove of international data flowing through fibre-optic cables in the US, purportedly to sift through foreign communications.
