The plane carrying whistleblower Edward Snowden has landed at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport. The former CIA contractor, who left Hong Kong in a bid to elude US extradition on espionage charges, is on his way to a ‘third country’ via Russia. Reuters reports that the Ecuadorean ambassador to Russia, Patricio Chavez, has arrived at Sheremetyevo airport, telling the press that he expects to meet with Snowden. Shortly thereafter, Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino confirmed via twitter that Snowden had applied for asylum.
