CIA director brands WikiLeaks a 'hostile intelligence service'
His remarks contrast with US President Donald Trump's.
Washington, Apr 13: Central Intelligence Agency Director Mike Pompeo (pahm- PAY'-oh) is denouncing WikiLeaks, calling the anti-secrecy group a 'hostile intelligence agency'. In his first public speech since becoming director of the agency, the former Republican congressman says WikiLeaks 'walks like a hostile intelligence agency and talks like a hostile intelligence agency'.
Last month, WikiLeaks released nearly 8,000 documents that it says reveals secrets about the CIA's cyberespionage tools for breaking into targeted computers, cellphones and even smart TVs.
