Leaked Cables Include Extensive Infrastructure List

HeadlineDec 06, 2010

The latest cables include a document providing a list of installations described as vital to U.S. interests and national security worldwide. The list is expansive, including everything from power plants supplying U.S. grids to a cobalt mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The U.S. State Department has criticized the list’s publication as “irresponsible,” while the British government called it “damaging to national security.” In response, WikiLeaks said the list has been available to over 2.5 million people including military officials and private contractors, and that it does not include specific locations and vulnerabilities.
