LONDON -- Visa says it has suspended all payments to WikiLeaks pending an investigation of the organization's business.

Popular online payment company PayPal, Inc. has already severed its links with WikiLeaks. Visa's decision to pull the plug on WikiLeaks leaves the website with one fewer source of revenue.
