Wikileaks has published more than 1.7 million US diplomatic and intelligence reports from the 1970s.

The website's founder, Julian Assange, said the documents revealed the "vast range and scope" of US activity around the world.

The collection covers the period when Henry Kissinger was US Secretary of State and National Security Adviser.

The latest collection, entitled the Public Library of US Diplomacy (PlusD), comprises diplomatic cables, intelligence reports and congressional correspondence running from the beginning of 1973 to the end of 1976.
