Edward Snowden gets his leaving papers


Russia issued whistleblower Edward Snowden documents on Wednesday that will allow him to leave the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremyetovo airport, ending his month-long stay there, according to law enforcement and airport sources.

The Federal Immigration Service has issued documents confirming that Snowden's asylum request is being considered, which will allow him to leave the transit zone, state news agency RIA Novosti quoted a law enforcement source as saying.
