Erdogan Threatens to Sue U.S. Diplomats over Leaked Claims

In response to diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan said that he would file legal action against U.S. envoys he accused of making false claims against him.

"Those who have slandered us will be crushed under these claims, will be finished and will disappear," he said.

One leaked cable claimed that Erdogan had eight secret accounts in Swiss banks. Other documents accused him of reaping personal gain from a billion-dollar privatization.
