Iraqi PM criticizes timing of Wikileaks disclosure

Iraq's prime minister has criticized the timing of the release by Wikileaks of almost 400,000 secret US military documents about the conflict there.

Nouri Maliki's office accused it of trying to sabotage his bid to form a new government by making allegations he was linked to Shia death squads.

Mr Maliki is struggling to keep his job after inconclusive elections in March.

Wikileaks said the disclosure was aimed at revealing the truth about the war.
