LONDON (BNO NEWS) -- WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was granted conditional bail on Tuesday, according to reporters in court.

Assange is wanted in Sweden on accusations of sexual molestation and rape, unrelated to his work for the controversial whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks which brought diplomatic hurricanes to the United States this year when it began releasing classified documents it had obtained.

It was not immediately clear what conditions would apply to his release on bail, which was set at 240,000 pounds. Cheers erupted both inside and outside the court when the decision was announced.
