Indian newspaper carries WikiLeaked cables

An Indian newspaper, The Hindu, has become the latest paper to link up with WikiLeaks to sift through the US diplomatic cables covering Washington's relationship with New Delhi.

The Hindu began publishing reports today on the cables, offering what it calls "unprecedented insights into India's foreign policy and domestic affairs."

Its first articles deal with the behind-the-scenes efforts by the US to broker an exchange of intelligence information between India and Pakistan over the November 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 166 people were killed.

N. Ram, editor of The Hindu, said explained in a front-page story that his paper began serious discussions with WikiLeaks last month over access to the more than 5,000 cables relating to India.
