WikiLeaks’ Assange to learn UK extradition fate 02 Nov 2011 A London court will rule on Wednesday whether WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange, who angered the U.S. government by publishing thousands of secret diplomatic memos, can be extradited from Britain to Sweden for questioning over alleged sexual crimes. Swedish authorities want to quiz the 40-year-old over accusations of rape and sexual assault made by two former female volunteers for his WikiLeaks organisation. The case has cast a shadow over Assange and his whistle-blowing website which published a cache of more than 250,000 secret U.S. diplomatic cables last year and caused a media sensation.
