Sorry - we fell for a hoax

We regret that on Wednesday 11 September we published a story claiming that whistleblower Julian Assange had been arrested by UK police in London.

The alleged author, Dr Philip Dorling, sent us this message:

"Your website is carrying a bogus report concerning Julian Assange. This report falsely has my name as the author. I did not post this article. It is a fake. I ask that you remove it immediately."

We have removed the article and apologise to anyone who has been embarassed or damaged by it.
