'Hunt for Assange on, Sweden a tool of US'
Swedish authorities have declined Ecuador's invitation to question
Julian Assange in its London embassy - without any meaningful
explanation, according to Wikileaks' twitter feed. The whistleblower has
been holed-up in the Latin American country's diplomatic mission for
over six weeks now, seeking asylum. Assange is wanted in Sweden for
questioning over sex crime allegations which he denies. He believes
proceedings may be just a pretext to hand him over to the US - where he
fears prosecution on espionage charges for a massive leak of secret
diplomatic and military files. Anti-war activist and journalist Don
DeBar says Washington is on an all-out hunt for Assange, and is willing
to sidestep international law to get him. Source
