Topic: US 'plotted to kill Julian Assange and make it look like an accident'

Swedish prosecutors investigating the hacking of the WikiLeaks site think it might have been organised by a CIA agent.
Prosecutors have taken notes on the 2008 arrest and conviction of American man Bradley Manning, which took place in 2011 but has not been shown to the public.
Claus Baffourhöhe, a staff prosecutor at the International Criminal Court's (ICC) of No. 242 on its website, accused the US of staging the 2011 raid to help WikiLeaks win crucial publicity and release of US secrets.
US prosecutors are investigating WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and have taken notes about a 2008 arrest
It would not be the first time one of the world's most prominent anti-secrecy campaigners was put under suspicion over its activities.
Prosecutors at the UN Security Council in 2006 attempted to charge US army private Bradley Manning, a 23-year-old US Air Force intelligence analyst in Baghdad in 2007, and two of his co-defendants with the same charges for their role in creating a WikiLeaks website dedicated to leaking US military and diplomatic records.
The charges were eventually dropped, however, when only Manning was charged with violation of the Espionage Act and not with aiding the enemy, as other WikiLeaks correspondents and defence counsel had argued at the time.
Mr Baffourhöhe said in an interview published on the ICC website that the information suggesting the April 9, 2008 raid was organised by an American spy agency went to "the bone" of prosecutors and his staff.
WikiLeaks was created in late 2006 to release more than 150,000 documents about US military and State Department operations around the world. It has now been decried by critics as an inside job.
The organisation's founder, Julian Assange, said last month in an interview with Russian TV station Rossiya 24 that it was he who had arranged for Bradley Manning to be detained on that night of the raid.
Mr Assange said he had "full access" to military intelligence files but that Manning's indictment "was set down before I knew Bradley Manning".

The world is safer with a institution that publishes information that powerful governments don't want published.
