Background

WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange is seeking asylum in Ecuador after arriving at the South American nation's embassy in London, Ecuador's foreign minister said on Tuesday, a move that may help the self-styled anti-secrecy crusader avoid extradition to Sweden.

Ecuador's foreign minister says there will be no decision until after the Summer Olympics on the political exile request of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino told reporters Wednesday it would be imprudent to announce a decision during the London Games, which begin Friday and end Aug. 12.
