Pakistani media has published fake WikiLeaks cables attacking India.
The media says these are part of the real cables stolen from the US diplomatic network.
The fake cables purportedly quote American diplomats as saying that India's military generals are genocidal, and that New Delhi backs militants.
These fake cables claim that the Indian government is secretly allied with Hindu fundamentalists.
Other claims include the allegation that Indian spies are covertly supporting Islamist militants in Pakistan's tribal belt and Balochistan, and senior Indian generals as vain and egotistical.
British newspaper - The Guardian - slammed these Pakistani versions as inaccurate and dangerous, after an extensive search of the WikiLeaks database failed to locate any of the incendiary allegations.
The Guardian suggested that this was the first case of WikiLeaks being exploited for propaganda purposes.
