Wikileaks, the whistle blower site recently responsible for leaking thousands of documents regarding military operations in the Middle East, is planning another leak.
The site announced on Twitter this week that it will be launching new documents relating to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
”Next release is 7x the size of the Iraq War Logs. Intense pressure over it for months,” the Twitter update read.
The move comes after Swedish authorities have issued an arrest warrant for the Australian founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange.
It also comes after the site has brought intense pressure against it from authorities after it released 77,000 documents on the Afghanistan war in July, and 400,000 files about Iraq last month.
