Snowden 'arrives at Moscow airport from Hong Kong'
A plane believed to be carrying US intelligence fugitive Edward Snowden has arrived in Moscow from Hong Kong, from where the US was seeking his extradition on charges of espionage.
There is speculation that he might now fly on to another country.
Hong Kong said Washington had failed to meet the requirements for extradition.
Mr Snowden, an intelligence contractor, fled to Hong Kong in May after revealing details of internet and phone surveillance by US intelligence.
The Aeroflot flight, SU213, landed in Moscow at 17:10 local time (13:10 GMT).
