| FBI to Help Probe Afghan War Leaks |
| 2010-07-31 |
| [Tolo News] The US Secretary of Defence said that the the US defence department has asked the FBI to help investigate the leak of more than 90,000 secret military logs Speaking at a news conference at the Pentagon on Thursday the US Secretary of Defence, Robert Gates called the leaks "potentially severe and dangerous". "It seems to me, to ensure the investigation goes wherever it needs to go, that having the FBI involved as a partner is very important," he said. Robert Gates did not say whether he planned to pursue charges against Wikileaks, the website which leaked the US secret logs and distributed them to other organisations. The Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen said the leak endangered the lives of NATO soldiers, and of civilians and Afghan citizens working with NATO. "They might already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier or an Afghan family," he said. Describing the leaked secrets on Afghan war as facts, the Afghanistan's Caped President said on Thursday that foreign forces are not acting strongly enough against terrorism. |
