Basit, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, confirmed that Pakistan refused Washington's
request to remove fuel from the reactor but denied it was producing highly enriched
uranium. He criticized Wikileaks for releasing the documents.
"We condemn the irresponsible disclosure of sensitive official documents," said Basit.
U.S. Ambassador Cameron Munter also criticized the release in an editorial in a Pakistani
English-language newspaper, The News, saying the "United States deeply regrets the
disclosure of any information that was intended to be confidential."
Wikileaks released over 200 of the confidential cables on its website Sunday, but none of
them appeared to contain information about U.S. attempts to remove uranium from the
Pakistani reactor.
One of the cables that was released outlined Russian concerns about Islamist extremists
in Pakistan trying to get their hands on nuclear material. The information was based on a
presentation given in December 2009 by Yuriy Korolev, an expert from the Russian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He said the large number of people involved in Pakistan's nuclear and missile programs
and the strict religious beliefs of some raised concerns that extremists would be able to
recruit someone to help them.
Wikileaks said it plans to release the rest of the cables over the next few months. (Al
