News Summary: Extradition of WikiLeaks boss backed

The Associated Press

IN SUPPORT: Britain's Supreme Court has endorsed the extradition of WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange to Sweden.

WHAT THAT MEANS: It brings the secret-spilling Internet activist closer to prosecution in a Scandinavian court. He has been fighting attempts to send him to Sweden, where he is wanted over sex crime allegations. He has yet to be charged.

THE CATCH: Assange's lawyer made the highly unusual suggestion that she would try to reopen the case, raising the prospect of more legal wrangling.
