Wikileaks New Releases About India , US related Secrets

On Saturday, the US had warned India and other key governments across the world about a new potentially embarrassing release of classified documents by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks which may harm the American interests and create tension in its ties with its "friends".

On whether India was concerned what the leaks might contain, the minister said "Indian government is not really concerned. But we are certainly interested in finding out what this WikiLeaks are all about because they say that they are going to put on the web 4 million documents. So we will watch with interest."

Around three million secret US diplomatic messages obtained by WikiLeaks would expose the ‘no-holds-barred’ private cables to the White House from scores of US embassies, the Daily Mail reported.

Mandela, who stepped down as president in 1999, condemned George Bush over the Iraq war, saying the US president had ignored the UN’s calls for restraint because the then secretary-general Kofi Annan was black.

He also called Tony Blair the ‘foreign minister of the US’ for supporting Bush over the Iraq war.

WikiLeaks earlier this year released secret details – 70,000 files – of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The revelations of American brutality in Iraq and Afghanistan led to its founder Julian Assange – an Australian-born computer hacker – being targeted by governments around the world. He is now wanted for alleged rape in Sweden.
