WikiLeaks, the online leak group, said Thursday that it would begin releasing a cache of more than 2.4 million e-mails between Syrian politicians, government officials and companies dating from 2006 until March of this year.
In a statement announced in London, WikiLeaks said that it aimed to “shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy” and that the disclosures in the e-mails would embarrass not only President Bashar al-Assad of Syria but also adversaries of Mr. Assad and his ruling Baath Party.
The statement cited the “violent internal conflict” that has riven that country and led to widespread condemnation of Mr. Assad for ordering a harsh repression of the uprising against him, which he has called a war against terrorists.
