Last Monday WikiLeaks published more than 75,000 classified military documents relating to the war in Afghanistan. The site published the material in a collaboration with the Guardian, New York Times and Der Spiegel and as part of an archive of more than 92,000 documents.
According to the Wikileaks Afghan War Diary site, a number of reports have been kept back from publication.
"We have delayed the release of some 15,000 reports from total archive as part of a harm minimization process demanded by our source. After further review, these reports will be released, with occasional redactions, and eventually, in full, as the security situation in Afghanistan permits," it states.
But in an article by Grey and Steven Swinford, the Sunday Times claims it has examined 14,000 documents held back from publication by WikiLeaks "because it had not had time to scrutinise them".
WikiLeaks' director Julian Assange said the withheld documents could be published at a later date: "Some will be released as soon as we are able to get through them and others will be withheld until the security situation in Afghanistan means it is safe to release them."
WikiLeaks' publication of the "war diaries" has been criticised by US government and defence organisations, as well as some publishers and journalists who have raised concerns over the accuracy and verification of the material.
