Assange given extradition notice
British police yesterday served an extradition notice on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has taken refuge in Ecuador's embassy in London requesting aslyum.
Assange took refuge there last week and is seeking diplomatic asylum to prevent being sent to Sweden where he is accused of rape and assault.
Scotland Yard said the notice required a 40-year-old man to attend a police station "at a time of our choosing".
The Wikileaks website published a mass of leaked diplomatic cables that embarrassed several governments and international businesses.
