Berlin: NATO chief
Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned Friday against the expected release
of a massive dossier of leaked information on the Iraq war.
WikiLeaks, a whistleblowing website that in July released more
than 75,000 classified documents on the Afghan war, is expected to
reveal a much larger cache of material on the conflict on Iraq
Saturday.
Rasmussen, secretary general of NATO said in a press conference in
Berlin following a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel
that the release of such information would be "very unfortunate,"
and could endanger the lives of service personnel and civilians.
"Such leaks may have very negative security consequences,"
Rasmussen said.
"We take (this issue) very seriously."
Tuesday WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange denied Pentagon
assertions that it was planning a release of Iraq war files.
