Foreign Minister Murray McCully has been briefed by US officials ahead of the release of up to three million potentially embarrassing diplomatic messages.

American diplomats have been warning leaders all over the world about another huge dump of documents expected on the Wikileaks website.

They fear relations between Washington and its allies could be harmed.

A spokesman for Mr McCully said the Government was aware that the leaks are expected over the next few days, but no one really knew what information was to be revealed.
