The United States has warned several hundred people worldwide it believes may be imperilled by WikiLeaks' release of classified US diplomatic cables and has so far helped a handful of them relocate to safer locations, the State Department said on Friday.
State Department spokesman P J Crowley said those at risk could include civil society activists, journalists or government officials whose discussions with US officials as recounted by WikiLeaks could anger foreign governments or other political forces.
"We are focused on people who have been identified in documents and assess whether there is a greater risk to them of violence, imprisonment or other serious harm, particularly in repressive societies around the world," Crowley told reporters.
"We've identified several hundred people worldwide that we feel are at potential risk," Crowley said. "In a small number of cases, we have assisted people moving from where they are to safer locations." He did not say if any of the people involved had cited a specific threat.
