BEIJING, April 15 (Reuters) - The public security bureau of China's northeastern Harbin city has accused the United States National Security Agency (NSA) of launching cyber attacks "ahead of its time" during the Asian Winter Games in February, targeting important industries.

The bureau also listed three NSA agents on a wanted list and said two American universities were involved in the attacks, after it carried out investigations, according to a report by state news agency Xinhua on Tuesday. (Reporting by Liz Lee and Qiaoyi Li; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)
