Islamabad, Nov. 29: Pakistan on Monday criticised Wikileaks release of secret US diplomatic cables which raise concerns that radioactive material in nuclear power stations could be used in terror attacks and cast a shadow on its ties with close ally Saudi Arabia.
The foreign office spokesman, Mr Abdul Basit, told the media that the release of the sensitive documents amounted to “irresponsible behaviour” and that Pakistan is taking stock of revelations concerning the country. Some disclosures could damage relations between Pakistan and its ally Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi king reportedly called the President, Mr Asif Ali Zardari, the greatest obstacle to Pakistans progress. “When the head is rotten, it affects the whole body,” King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz was quoted as saying. Mr Basit said called the releases “misleading and contrary to facts”.
