"We believe that WikiLeaks has in its possession additional documents that may be released in the future. They still have the 15,000 documents from Afghanistan. They still have a video from Afghanistan. Those are things they have talked about publicly," he said.

"And we have reason to believe they have other documents as well," Lapan said, adding that he has no further information on those.

The Department of Defence has publicly asked WikiLeaks to stop publishing these documents and return them.

However, WikiLeaks has gone ahead to publish these documents, which Pentagon says have endangered the lives of hundreds of its people in Afghanistan and Iraq.
