Julian Assange said he was warned to expect 'dirty tricks' in fight to release war documents

The founder of Wikileaks is planning to sue Sweden over its heavily-publicized investigation into allegations of rape against him, says a report from a Swedish news source.

The Local reports that Julian Assange plans to sue the Swedish government over "legal mistakes" made in the investigation into allegations that he sexually assaulted two Swedish women. Assange has maintained his innocence throughout, telling the media he has "never had non-consensual sex" with anyone.

Sweden's prosecution service issued a warrant for Assange on Aug. 20, stirring up a firestorm of media coverage and allegations by backers of the whistleblower Web site that the prosecution was politically motivated.
