Wikileaks / Julian Assange arrested.
WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange could face trial in the U.S. after his Thursday arrest in London which the United Kingdom’s Metropolitan Police said occurred partly to extradite him to the United States.
Assange, 47, had been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for seven years until Ecuador withdrew his asylum. He first holed up in the embassy when Sweden tried to extradite him because of sexual assault allegations, reported BBC. That case has been dropped, but Assange has remained in the embassy to avoid being extradited to the U.S. or another country he has claimed wants to question him
