Daily Mail/AP: Russian spy agency 'sought to recruit NSA leaker Edward Snowden'
* The Russian intelligence security service supposedly approached Snowden while he was stuck in the transit area of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport for six weeks in 2013
* At the time, Snowden was unable to enter Russia or fly elsewhere
* His passport had been canceled by U.S. authorities seeking to arrest him for leaking secret documents
* WikiLeaks has said Harrison 'wants to reiterate that she simply said that we confirm that [Snowden] was approached by the Russian Security Service while at the airport'
Update: WikiLeaks Says Russia’s Security Service Never Tried to Recruit Snowden -- Sputnik
WNU Editor: I suspect that Russian intelligence sized him up very quickly ... and decided that he was too well known and too much of a public figure to be of any use to them .... and if he had any intel .... the Russians probably already had it. As to what is Russia's FSB saying .... (no surprise) they are refusing to comment .... Russian Security Service Denies to Comment on Reports of Recruiting Snowden (Sputnik).
