STOCKHOLM — A Swedish arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whose whistle-blowing website caused uproar last month with a leak of secret U.S. military files on Afghanistan, on charges of rape and molestation, has been cancelled, an official said.

Mr. Assange, whose whereabouts are unclear, denied the allegations on WikiLeaks’ Twitter page.”The charges are without basis and their issue at this moment is deeply disturbing.”
