More troubles for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Swedish prosecutors say they will seek his extradition from Britain after he does almost a year in prison there for jumping bail. Prosecutors in Stockholm say they will reopen a rape case against Assange. Just a month ago, Assange was carried out of the Equadorian embassy in London. The Swedish move would leave Britain to decide whether to extradite Assange to Sweden or to the U.S. He is wanted here for allegedly hacking into a Pentagon computer. Assange denies any wrongdoing.
