94 crucial documents about Pak to be posted on WikiLeaks this Weekend
By ANISaturday, November 27, 2010
WASHINGTON - The whistleblower website, WikiLeaks, is expected to publish 94 documents about Pakistan this weekend, according to diplomatic sources.
The documents mainly contain telegrams sent by the US Embassy in Islamabad to the State Department in Washington, the Dawn reported.
Some of these papers relate to US observations about Pakistan’s policy towards Afghanistan, the debate within Pakistan on the war against terror, Islamabad’s cooperation with Washington, US reservations about Pakistan’s nuclear programme and other military and intelligence matters.
Sources said that an anti-war activist gained access to over 400,000 secret documents following changes in the US communication system, and handed them over to WikiLeaks.
US officials have warned that Afghanistan, China, Russia, Central Asia Republics, Canada, Britain, France, Turkey and NATO will all be affected by this unprecedented leak.
In July this year, WikiLeaks had published the Afghan war logs, disclosing that the US was operating a secret assassination squad in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and that a Pakistani intelligence agency was helping the Taliban, besides throwing light on the alleged crimes committed by the coalition troops in Afghanistan.
