LONDON - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces questioning by prosecutors Monday at the Ecuadoran embassy in London in a twist in the long-running legal battle over a rape allegation against him. Swedish prosecutors dropped the sexual assault probe last year after the five-year statute of limitations expired. A Swedish official source said the questioning was expected to begin at around 1000 GMT. It will be the first time he has been interviewed over the matter since initial questioning by Swedish police at the time of the allegation. WikiLeaks released medical records in September claiming Assange's mental health was at risk if he remained any longer in the embassy.
