WikiLeaks gets new host -- Swedish pirates

The whistleblower website WikiLeaks will place several new servers with the Swedish Pirate Party, the group which campaigns for more freedom on the Internet said yesterday.

"The Pirate Party will provide bandwidth and hosting to WikiLeaks free of charge as part of its political mission," the party said in a statement.

It said the agreement was reached at a meeting in Stockholm at the weekend with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

"We welcome the help provided by the Pirate Party," said Assange. ufffd Agencies
