Sweden's attempt to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for questioning on sexual assault allegations will be examined by a London court on February 7-8, a judge said today.

The date for the full extradition hearing came during a 10-minute hearing at Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London at which Assange spoke only to confirm his name and address.
