Snowden Struggling to Find Way to Latin America

Edward Snowden said that he “would seek political asylum in Russia until he could find a way to travel to one of several Latin American countries that have offered him safe harbor,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The request marks a sharp turnaround for Mr. Snowden, who had retracted a request for asylum in Russia earlier this month after President Vladimir Putin said it would only be considered if the former government contractor stopped leaks deemed harmful to U.S. interests.”
