LONDON: Former US intelligence operative Edward Snowden is in Russian airspace, whistleblowing website WikiLeaks said on Sunday after earlier announcing that it had helped him to secure political asylum in a "democratic country".
"Mr Snowden is currently over Russian airspace accompanied by WikiLeaks legal advisors," WikiLeaks said on Twitter. It said earlier it had assisted him with "political asylum in a democratic country, travel papers and safe exit from Hong Kong".
