Ecuador has said Britain threatened to send police into the embassy

[Zorra]

to arrest Mr Assange, who has not left the premises for more than two months.

Britain insists it simply made the Ecuadoran government aware of a little-used law which in theory would allow it to suspend the embassy's diplomatic status and enter the premises.

After the visit from the ambassadors, a spokesman from the embassy said: "This display of support for the Ecuadoran government by South American ambassadors is a clear indication of the level of support Ecuador has amongst countries in America."

The spokesman added that it was also "a clear statement opposing the UK government's threats against the integrity and sovereignty of its embassy in London."

A policeman has accidentally revealed a secret plan to seize Julian Assange “under all circumstances” if he steps outside the Ecuadorian embassy, in an embarrassment for Scotland Yard.

The policeman’s handwritten tactical brief, captured by a Press Association photographer as he stood outside the Knightsbridge embassy on Friday afternoon, discloses the “summary of current position re Assange”.

The notes said should the maverick Australian should be taken even if he emerges in a vehicle, under diplomatic immunity or in a diplomatic bag, which may involve “risk to life”. There had been speculation that he could be smuggled out of the building in a parcel or given a post in the United Nations by Ecuador in an attempt to evade arrest.

Further details of the notes, which were obscured by the officer holding them, appeared to relate to the “everyday business” of the embassy and the possible need for “additional support” from an unknown agency known as SS10. Scotland Yard said it did not know what this referred to.
