None
Russian President Vladimir Putin says that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden is in the transit zone of a Moscow airport and will not be extradited to the United States.
Putin said that Snowden hasn't crossed the Russian border and is free to go anywhere. Speaking on a visit to Finland Tuesday, he added that Russian security agencies "didn't work and aren't working" with Snowden. He gave no more details. Commenting on a US request to extradite him, Putin said that Russia doesn't have an extradition agreement with the US and thus wouldn't meet the US request. (AP)
