Swedish Court Orders Arrest of WikiLeaks Founder
------------------------------------------------



And a Swedish court has issued an arrest warrant for Wiki Leaks founder
Julian Assange on charges of rape and sexual molestation. A Swedish
prosecutor sought Assange’s arrest this week after initially dropping
the case against Assange earlier this year. The order comes less than a
month after Wiki Leaks released a trove of classified U.S. military
documents disclosing new evidence of torture and civilian deaths in the
Iraq war. Assange has denied the allegations and said he is the target
of a smear campaign.
