国际社会对维基揭密网站的创始人阿桑奇展开了追捕行动。据报导，阿桑奇目前在英国。从俄罗斯到澳大利亚，各国领导人对秘密信息被泄露到维基揭密网日益感到愤怒。
英国媒体星期四报导说，英国当局知道阿桑奇藏在英国东南部。这位39岁的澳大利亚人据说10月份抵达英国时提供了一个电话号码和地址。
被阿桑奇有争议的网站泄露的美国秘密外交电报披露了美国对世界各国领导人直率和不恭的看法，使世界各地的政界人士感到不悦。
一份显然来源于美国驻莫斯科大使馆的秘密备忘录说，俄罗斯腐败到了近乎一个“黑手党国家”的地步。
普京在接受美国有线电视新闻网采访时对这些泄密的电报做出回应，他说，美国不应该干涉俄罗斯的内部事务。
国际刑警组织对阿桑奇发“红色通告”。阿桑奇因为强奸和性骚扰的指控而在瑞典受到通缉。
An international manhunt is on for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is reported to be in Britain, as fury mounts among world leaders from Russia to Australia about secret information leaked on the website.
British media are reporting Thursday that authorities know Assange is hiding in southeast Britain. The 39-year-old Australian is said to have provided a telephone number and address when he arrived in the country in October.
Classified U.S. diplomatic cables leaked by Assange’s controversial website have revealed blunt and unflattering U.S. views on world leaders and irritated politicans worldwide.
A secret memo that apparently originated from the U.S. embassy in Moscow says Russia is so corrupt it is a virtual “mafia state.”
Responding to the leaked cables, Mr. Putin told CNN in an interview that the United States should not interfere in Russia’s internal affairs.
出Interpol has released a “red notice” for Assange, who is wanted in Sweden on accusations of rape and sexual molestation.
