Snowden leaves Hong Kong for Moscow...

The Hong Kong government reported Snowden fled that city for a third country Sunday, and the Associated Press reported that the country is Russia, though that is not his final destination.

Snowden, a former contractor that leaked information earlier this month about a classified electronic surveillance program conducted by the National Security Agency, is wanted by the U.S. government on espionage charges.

Wikileaks indicated early Sunday via Twitter that it aided Snowden in his escape from Hong Kong and possible extradition by the U.S.

Wikileaks stated, "WikiLeaks has assisted Mr. Snowden's political asylum in a democratic country, travel papers ans (sic) safe exit from Hong Kong. More soon."

The hacking organization, which has a reputation for publishing classified information damaging to the U.S., claimed via Twitter Snowden was over Russian airspace early Sunday morning and "is accompanied by Wikileaks legal advisors." Full story...
