REUTERS/Simon Dawson/File PhotoLONDON: Julian Assange's lawyer said on Monday he was surprised US authorities issued a new and wider indictment last week against the WikiLeaks founder whom they are seeking to extradite from Britain.
"We are to say the least surprised by the timing of this development," Assange's lawyer Mark Summers told a brief technical hearing at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday, adding it could derail the timing for the case. Judge Vanessa Baraister said the case would"almost certainly" be now held at London's Old Bailey criminal court.Assange himself was again absent from Monday's hearing and unable to appear by videolink from prison because of medical reasons, Summers said.
