Wikileaks ‘doesn’t know’ who sent classified files

WIKILEAKS’ editor-in-chief claims his organisation doesn’t know who sent it some 91,000 secret US military documents, telling journalists that the website was set up to hide the source of its data from those who receive it.

Julian Assange didn’t say whether he meant he had no idea who leaked the documents or whether his organisation simply could not be sure. But he did say the added layer of secrecy helps protect the site’s sources from spy agencies and hostile corporations.

“We never know the source of the leak,” he told journalists in London’s Frontline Club.
