Mr. Kristinn Hrafnsson, Wikileaks spokesperson, said last week that representatives from the FBI came to Iceland in August 2011. The Icelandic Minister of the Interior confirmed this the same day and said that when he became aware of the FBI in Iceland he cancelled all cooperation with the FBI and told the representatives to leave.

A joint meeting between two committees in Iceland began today, the committees are the Constitutional and Supervisory Committee and the Judicial Affairs and Education Committee. At the meeting the actions of the FBI, during the summer of 2011, will be discussed.

The Minister of the Interior said this morning, in parliament, that he thought that the FBI wanted to use an Icelandic computer hacker as bait to get closer to Wikileaks. Ms. Birgitta Jonsdottir, a member of parliament, said that the Icelandic police authorities had believed a fictional story told by two hackers.

The young computer hacker that was questioned by the FBI in Iceland is being sued because of fraud and theft. He is also accused of having illegally profited from the Wikileaks T-shirts that were sold for funding of Wikileaks.
