Julian Assange Questioned by Swedish Prosecutor in London Embassy
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Wiki Leaks co-founder Julian Assange was questioned Monday by a Swedish
prosecutor at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London over allegations of
sexual misconduct, although charges have never been filed. The
questioning could last as many as three days. Assange's Swedish lawyer,
Per Samuelson, says he has so far been prohibited from attending the
interviews. Assange has been confined to the Ecuadorean Embassy, fearing
that if he were to attempt to leave, he would be arrested by British
police and ultimately extradited to the United States, where it is
believed there is a sealed indictment against him over Wiki Leaks's
release of documents.
