Russia: No asylum application from Snowden
None
Russian immigration officials say they have not received an application from Edward Snowden, the US. National Security Agency leaker who wants to get asylum in Russia.
On Friday, Snowden, currently living in Moscow's Sheremetyevo international airport, met with human rights activists and said he would seek Russian asylum, at least as a temporary measure before going to Venezuela, Bolivia or Nicaragua, all of which have offered him asylum. But the Interfax news agency quoted Russian migration service head Konstantin Romodanovsky as saying no asylum request had been received as of Saturday. (AP)
