UK Court Delays Decision On Julian Assange U.S. Extradition Appeal Until May 20

U.S. prosecutors accuse Assange of conspiring with U.S. army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to hack into a Pentagon computer and then release classified diplomatic cables and military files related to U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
