Ecuador: UK Wikileaks' Julian Assange 'threat' over
Britain has "given up its threat" to enter Ecuador's London embassy to arrest Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, Ecuador's president has said.
Rafael Correa told reporters "we consider this unfortunate incident over", following assurances by the UK.
A diplomatic row broke out after Ecuador granted asylum to Mr Assange, who faces extradition to Sweden to face questions over alleged sexual offences. He denies any wrongdoing.
The UK says it never made any threats.
The Foreign Office (FCO) said it sent the Ecuadorean embassy an official letter on Friday, aimed at "calming things down" and allowing talks to resume.
