Swedish prosecutors say they will seek an international arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in a rape investigation.



The announcement came after a Stockholm court approved their request to detain Assange for questioning in the case, which stems from his encounters with two Swedish women in August.

Assange is suspected of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion. He has denied the allegations.

Director of Public Prosecution Marianne Ny told the AP on Thursday that she will seek Assange's arrest through Interpol. His whereabouts were not immediately clear.
