Ecuador, Sweden Reach Deal for Questioning of Julian Assange 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
And Ecuador and Sweden have reportedly reached a deal to allow Wiki
Leaks founder Julian Assange to be questioned on sex crimes allegations
in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, where he has been holed up for more
than three years. Assange has long requested Swedish prosecutors
question him inside the embassy. He fears that if he travels to Sweden,
he could end up being extradited to the United States, where a secret
grand jury has been investigating Wiki Leaks' revelations. Sweden has
never charged Assange with a crime.
