LONDON, ENGLAND (BNO NEWS) -- The controversial whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks on late Wednesday declared that the American and British governments had effectively given groups an opening to attack embassies by supporting Britain's siege of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

The statements were made through the official WikiLeaks account on Twitter, immediately prompting harsh criticism from both supporters and opponents. It is not known who manages the WikiLeaks Twitter account, although some reports have said its founder Julian Assange has recently assumed control of the feed.

"By the US accepting the UK siege on the Ecuadorian embassy in London it gave tacit approval for attacks on embassies around the world," the first message said, adding: "By the UK threatening to breach the Ecuadorian embassy in London it helped to normalize attacks on embassies, in general. It must retract." ...

After harsh criticism, the first message was deleted and replaced with a slightly different message which claimed the U.S. government has helped normalize attacks on embassies. "We have deleted and rephrased a previous tweet with the word 'tacit' in it, since the word is rare and was being misinterpreted," a follow-up message said.
