WikiLeaks unleashes flood of confidential US cables
39 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Whistleblower website WikiLeaks on Sunday unleashed a damaging torrent of US diplomatic cables, detailing episodes from a nuclear standoff with Pakistan to Arab leaders urging a strike on Iran.
The leaked memos describe a Chinese government bid to hack into Google, plans to reunite the Korean peninsula after the North's eventual collapse, and quote Saudi Arabia's king as saying the United States should bomb Iran to halt its nuclear drive, telling it to "cut off the head of the snake."
The confidential cables also reveal how the State Department has ordered diplomats to spy on foreign dignitaries, including obtaining their credit card and frequent flier numbers.
The memos recount closed-door remarks that could stoke scandal, including Yemen's president telling a top US general: "We'll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours" when discussing secretive US strikes on Al-Qaeda, and a description of Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi as always being attended by a "voluptuous blonde" Ukrainian nurse.
