Russia And US Security Services 'In Talks' Over Snowden -- BBC

The American FBI and Russian FSB security services are "in talks" over US fugitive Edward Snowden, according to the Russian president's spokesman.

However, Dmitry Peskov repeated Russia's position that it "will not hand anyone over".

Mr Snowden has been trapped in the transit zone at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport for the past month as he has no valid travel documents.

The US wants him extradited for leaking details of surveillance programmes.

Mr Peskov did not specify what the nature of the talks between the agencies was.

My Comment: As long as Edward Snowden refrains from leaking NSA secrets, Russia will not send him back back to the U.S.. If he does break his promise and leak intel .... he will be finding himself on a one way ticket to a country that will then send him back to the U.S..
