SANTO DOMINGO.- Military and human rights topics among others are the main concerns of the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo in the 1,675 documents relating to the Dominican Republic leaked by Wikileaks, but the most intriguing relates to clumping "Kosovo," "Haiti," "Cuba," "Dominican Republic" together.

The leaked documents are part of the more than 250,000 messages from the U.S. Department of State issued by its embassies in major world countries, obtained by the website Wikileaks, which are found in as yet disclosed episodes which occurred in the world's hot spots, and many other events and data of great relevance which place American foreign policy in the spotlight.

As of yesterday the contents of the cables referring to the Dominican Republic hadn’t been released, and instead the full list with the details of the items they contain.

The Honduras crisis is behind the documents issued on January 21 and 22, by the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo. The then Honduras president-elect Ricardo Lobo was in the Dominican Republic on January 20 to sign an agreement with president Leonel Fernandez, whereby the latter acknowledged his election and pledged to help broker a safe conduct to allow the at that time ousted president of that Central American country Manuel Zelaya, who had been granted asylum in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa.

A another document regarding emergency plans and evacuation of Haiti citizens was also issued on January 13, three days after the January 10 quake which leveled the Haitian capital.

Most of the U.S. Embassy’s references to Haiti are related to human rights, aid, the economy and security issues.

A puzzling cable sent March 13 identified as PREL, PINR, PREF, SMIG, KV, HA, CU, DR, indicating "foreign policy," "Intelligence," "Refugee" (SMIG could not be decoded), "Kosovo," "Haiti," "Cuba," "Dominican Republic," while on December 21, 2009, another is marked as PTER, ASEC, DR, used to identify terrorism and security issues.

Also leaded during the first months of 2005 were at least six cables on extradition, during which the Dominican authorities began the process to extradite the drug lord Quirino Paulino and the other defendants in that drug trafficking case.

Between November 3 and February 26, date of the last cable, except for some mention of visa issues related to military and security issues, the references used for the case of the Puerto Rican kingpin Jose Figueroa Agosto and his drug trafficking network cannot be clearly identified.
