THE PENINSULA – Top officials in several Arab countries have close links with the
CIA, and many officials keep visiting US embassies in their respective
countries voluntarily to establish links with this key US intelligence
agency, says Julian Assange, founder of the whistle-blowing website,
WikiLeaks.
“These officials are spies for the US in their countries,” Assange told Al Jazeera Arabic channel in an interview yesterday.
The interviewer, Ahmed Mansour, said at the start of the interview which was a continuation of last week’s interface, that Assange had even shown him the files that contained the names of some top Arab officials with alleged links with the CIA.
Assange or Mansour, however, didn’t disclose the names of these officials. The WikiLeaks founder said he feared he could be killed but added that there were 2,000 websites that were ready to publish the remaining files that are in possession of WikiLeaks after “he has been done away with”.
