Assange claims victory after Sweden drops rape probe

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange gave a clenched fist salute Friday after Swedish prosecutors dropped a seven-year rape allegation, but he insisted the "proper war" over his future was just beginning.Assange stepped into the daylight on the balcony of Ecuador's London embassy, where he has been holed up since 2012, to celebrate, but said the road was "far from over".The 45-year-old Australian's accuser was angered by the decision and Assange declined to say whether he would leave the embassy.
