WikiLeaks says latest leak covers 'every major issue'

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said on Sunday the looming release of classified US documents by the whistle-blower website would cover "every major issue" in the world today.

"The material that we are about to release covers essentially every major issue in every country in the world," he told reporters in Jordan by video link when asked if the new leaks again focused on US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
