Saudi Regime Spies on Bahrain’s Shias
It has been revealed from communications between Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry and other Saudi bodies, Mir’at al-Bahrain website reported.
Last week, WikiLeaks said it will publish over 500,000 Saudi diplomatic documents on the Internet over the upcoming weeks.
In a Friday statement, WikiLeaks said internal reports from Saudi government organizations and communications between the country's embassies across the world will be included in the documents.
According to the statement, the transparency website has obtained e-mail communications between Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry and other countries.
WikiLeaks also announced that it has already released over 60,000 Saudi documents on its webpage, most of them in Arabic.
Classified reports from a number of Saudi institutions, including the Ministry of Interior and the Kingdom's General Intelligence Services, were among the published documents.
Many of the leaked materials, whose source is still unknown, carried green letterhead marked "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" or "Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
The documents indicate that the Saudi regime is considered a threat for its neighbors, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in a press release.
The materials “lift the lid on a [sic] increasingly erratic and secretive dictatorship that has not only celebrated its 100th beheading this year, but which has also become a menace to its neighbors and itself,” Assange said.
He also noted that the documents “provide key insights into the Kingdom’s operations and how it has managed its alliances …, including through bribing and co-opting key individuals and institutions.”
