    Wikileaks says its website has been shut down by the company providing it with domain name services, as British media reports Scotland Yard could arrest the site's founder Julian Assange as early as tomorrow.

    The website's alphabetical web address no longer exists and is now only accessible through a numerical IP address.

    The company involved, EveryDNS.net, says it terminated its services because Wikileaks had been coming under "massive" cyber attacks.

    Earlier this week Amazon booted WikiLeaks from its servers.

    Mr Assange's website this week released more than 250,000 secret US diplomatic cables, which has left governments around the world scrambling to deal with the fallout.

    Prosecutors in Sweden want to question Mr Assange over alleged sex crimes involving two women during a visit to Stockholm in August.

    Mr Assange, who was born in Australia, has not been charged and he denies the allegations.

    He reportedly avoided arrest this week because Swedish authorities had filled out an Interpol red notice incorrectly.

    Britain's Independent newspaper reports that police know Mr Assange's whereabouts in England and are expected to arrest him in the coming days.

    Mr Assange's Stockholm-based lawyer Bjoern Hurtig says he will fight his client's extradition to Sweden in the event of his arrest.

    "Together with my British colleague Mark Stephens and international experts, we will fight the extradition warrants," he said.

    A WikiLeaks spokesman says Mr Assange has to remain out of the public eye because he is facing assassination threats following the whistleblowing website's publication of the secret cables.

    Several US senators have also called for him to be charged with espionage.

    Senator Dianne Feinstein says the leak is a serious breach of national security and action must be taken.

    "We have reviewed the espionage statutes and we believe it qualifies," she said.

    "That this, allowed to be carried out, incapacitates this nation to carry out business."

    Looks like the elite bunch of crooks who run the world have had enough. Politicians from the East and West and Left and Right are all in a tither as their global big business masters don't like their dirty deals exposed and want Assange stopped. They have trumped up a rape allegation for the moment which nobody in their right mind would take seriously but at least Assange is still alive...I wonder for how much longer though.
    We know that criminal elements control many governments and have fingers in others and as Wikileaks exposes this these people would not bat an eyelid at having him taken out.
