<p>WikiLeaks&#8217; Twitter account details have been subpoenaed by US officials, the secret-spilling site has announced, adding that it suspected other American Internet companies were also being asked to hand over information about its activities.</p>
<p>In an email statement, WikiLeaks said that US investigators had gone to the San Francisco-based social network site to demand the private messages, contact information, and other personal details of founder Julian Assange and three people associated with the secret-spilling website.</p>
<p>WikiLeaks blasted the court order, saying it amounted to harassment.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the Iranian government was to attempt to coercively obtain this information from journalists and activists of foreign nations, human rights groups around the world would speak out,&#8221; Assange said in statement.</p>
<p>A copy of the court order, dated December 14 and posted to Salon.com, said that the information sought was &#8220;relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation&#8221; and ordered Twitter not to disclose its existence to Assange or any of the others targeted.</p>
<p>The order was unsealed &#8220;thanks to legal action by Twitter,&#8221; WikiLeaks said in its statement. Twitter has declined comment on the claim, saying only that its policy is to notify its users, where possible, of government requests for information.</p>
<p>US officials have been examining possible charges against WikiLeaks and its staff following a series of spectacular leaks which have embarrassed officials and tarnished Washington&#8217;s image. The US State Department has said that the website&#8217;s latest leak &#8211; the disclosure of thousands of confidential diplomatic cables &#8211; has harmed US diplomacy and could put human rights activists and others at risk.</p>
<p>WikiLeaks denies that charge, saying that Washington is acting out of embarrassment over the revelations contained in the cables.</p>
