Australian police investigate WikiLeaks founder

Canberra: Attorney-General Robert McClelland says police are investigating whether any Australian law has been broken by the latest leaking of confidential documents by online whistle-blower WikiLeaks.

McClelland told reporters on Monday he was not aware of a request from the United States to cancel WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's Australian passport. He says a range of options are under consideration by Australian government agencies in response to the latest disclosure of classified US material.
