US security threatened by revelations: Clinton
WASHINGTON: In a disclosure of some of the most sensitive information revealed by WikiLeaks so far, the website has released a secret cable listing sites worldwide that the U.S. considers critical to its national security.

Commenting on the latest revelations made by WikiLeaks, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has termed the disclosure of those most sensitive diplomatic cables as a serious threat to US’s national security and integrity.

The locations cited in the diplomatic cable from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton range from undersea communications lines to suppliers of food, medicine and manufacturing materials.

The Pentagon declined to comment Monday on the details of what it called "stolen" documents containing classified information. But a spokesman, Col. David Lapan, called the disclosure "damaging" and said it gives valuable information to terrorists.

WikiLeaks released the 2009 Clinton cable on Sunday.
