WikiLeaks says will also expose corporate world

LONDON, (Reuters) – Whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks,  which is causing an international storm over its release of  confidential diplomatic cables, said it would also publish  disclosures from the corporate world.
“I believe that in the future we are going to have more  material that is pertaining to the corporate community,”  WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson said late on Wednesday.
Shares in Bank of America fell 3 percent on Tuesday amid  investor fears that the largest U.S. bank by assets might be at  the centre of WikiLeaks’ next document release.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said his group planned to  release tens of thousands of internal documents from a major  U.S. bank early next year, according to an interview published  on Monday by Forbes Magazine.
Hrafnsson, speaking at an event in London, confirmed that  the website had information about the operations of a U.S. bank,  but declined to identify it.
“We usually don’t comment on the projects that are ongoing.  We take our time in scrutinising the material before we release  it and that applies to this material as well,” he said.
