The newly freed WikiLeaks founder says his website will continue releasing U.S. diplomatic documents, despite his suspicion that Washington is preparing to indict him.

Julian Assange told television interviewers Friday that he is fighting a smear campaign and "what appears to be a secret grand jury investigation against me or our organization."

Assange has angered Washington by having his site begin to release some of the 250,000 secret diplomatic cables that have disclosed a wide variety of details about how the U.S. conducts its diplomacy around the globe.

Meanwhile, Assange is facing other legal threats in Europe, where he is fighting extradition in one country, and possible sex-crime charges in another.

Swedish prosecutors want to question Assange about his sexual encounters with two women he met while visiting the country in August.

Assange has denied that he has done anything wrong and has indicated he is willing to answer questions in Britain -- the country where he is currently staying and where he has been granted bail while he fights his extradition to Sweden.

After the Swedish authorities made it clear they were looking for Assange, he turned himself into British police last week. The 39-year-old was freed yesterday after spending nine days in jail.

High Court Justice Duncan Ouseley ruled Thursday that Assange was not a flight risk, despite the fact that he is an Australian citizen and holds no ties to Britain.

But Ouseley gave Assange bail conditions that require him to wear an electronic tag, meet a curfew and report to police on a daily basis. He is also required to stay at a British mansion that is owned by one of his supporters.

WikiLeaks spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson said the restrictions on Assange amount to "virtual house arrest," though he will still be able to access the Internet.

Also Friday, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said police have determined that Assange has not broken any laws in his home country.

Gillard said she wanted to make it "very, very clear" that she does not support the "grossly irresponsible" efforts to publish the diplomatic cables online.
