Saudi Arabia on Saturday urged its citizens not to distribute "documents that might be faked" in an apparent response to WikiLeaks' publication on Friday of more than 60,000 documents it says are secret Saudi diplomatic communications.
The statement, made by the Foreign Ministry on its Twitter account, did not directly deny the documents' authenticity.
The released documents, which WikiLeaks said were embassy communications, emails between diplomats and reports from other state bodies, include discussions of Saudi Arabia's position regarding regional issues and efforts to influence media.
Saturday's statement is the only official government response since the release, which WikiLeaks says is the first batch of more than half a million Saudi documents it has obtained and plans to publish.
WikiLeaks did not say where it obtained the documents, but it referred in a press release to Riyadh's statement in May that it had suffered a breach of its computer networks, an attack later claimed by a group calling itself the Yemeni Cyber Army.
Saudi state and private media on Saturday ignored the release.

When I was dating my wife we were parked at a fast food parking lot when I saw a girl approaching with a determined look on her face. I told my future wife “no matter what she says, don’t believe her”. She gave me the same look I am giving the Saudi’s now.
Wonder what is in there that has the Sauds so scared?

Step 1. Create the illusion that the released documents are fakes.

I'm sure you can figure it out.
LMAO!
Perhaps something showing their double dealing with Islamic terror.
