Snowden applies for asylum in Russia
Interesting...
Quote:
Edward Snowden has applied for asylum in Russia, the state-run RIA Novosti news agency reported Monday, quoting a consular official at the Moscow airport.
However, Russia's semi-official Interfax news agency continued to report that the head of Russia's immigration services denied any asylum request had been made.
The confusion reflected the diplomatic tensions over the status of Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who has admitted leaking classified documents on U.S. surveillance programs and is in the international transit area of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport.
