Police wait to arrest Assange

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is seeking political asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, has breached bail conditions and faces arrest, police said yesterday.

Assange spent the night in the embassy yesterday after making a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over alleged sex crimes.

The 40-year-old walked into the embassy on Tuesday and claimed asylum under the United Nations human rights declaration.
