Russia won’t extradite Snowden to US – Kremlin

-

July 26, 2013 (rt.com) - Moscow says security agency FSB is in talks with the FBI over Snowden. But the whistleblo­wer will not be extradited to the US, a Kremlin spokesman said, adding he's sure the fugitive NSA contractor will stop harming Washington if granted asylum in Russia.“Russia has never extradited anyone, and will not extradite,” said Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Russian President is not handling the case of the former CIA employee Edward Snowden, as “Snowden has not made any request that is subject to considerat­ion by the head of the state,” Peskov added.
