{Sudan has dismissed the WikiLeaks report accusing Khartoum and Cairo of a plotting to kill Southern Sudanese President Salva Kiir.}<\/p>\n
Foreign Affairs ministry spokesman Ali Alsadiq said the claims were untrue, but did not give any details about thousands of other cables published by WikiLeaks last Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n
“These are untrue documents aiming at spoiling the diplomatic ties between the regional countries mentioned,\u2019\u2019 Mr Alsadiq said.<\/p>\n
The South Sudanese government confirmed obtaining the document, but expressed reservations about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank God because we obtained the document, but we don\u2019t have anything to say,\u201d Presidential spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny told the press in Juba.<\/p>\n
The Egyptian government has remained silent about the claims.<\/p>\n
The controversial Wikileaks website claimed that the Sudanese and Egyptian intelligence planned to assassinate President Kiir.<\/p>\n
WikiLeaks published what it claimed to be an official letter by former Saudi Foreign Affairs minister telling the Royal Palace about the plot.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the Saudi embassy in Khartoum informed their government that they had received information on a joint plot by the Egyptian and Sudanese intelligence to assassinate President Kiir.<\/p>\n
Corruption scandals<\/p>\n
Egypt\u2019s intelligence apparatus, says the report, sent \u201cthree of its most dangerous agents\u201d to stay at the Garden City area in Khartoum.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe aim of sending them to Khartoum is to formulate a joint plan with the Sudanese intelligence for the elimination and assassination of Kiir and some of his aides,\u201d the Saudi embassy in Khartoum reportedly claimed.<\/p>\n
Other documents mentioned numerous corruption scandals involving several Sudanese officials, including asking for money from the Saudi government officials.<\/p>\n
The Khartoum officials implicated include a former Defence minister and a state governor.<\/p>\n
The WikiLeaks documents also mentioned the Iranian military support to Sudan during the war against South Sudan in April 2012 over the oil-rich region of Heglig.<\/p>\n
