HONG KONG The Hong Kong government announced on Sunday afternoon that it had allowed the departure from its territory of Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who has acknowledged disclosing classified documents about United States government surveillance of Internet and telephone communications around the world.
The government statement said that Hong Kong had informed the United States of Mr. Snowdens departure.
A Moscow-based reservations agent at Aeroflot, Russias national airline, said that Mr. Snowden was aboard flight SU213 to Moscow, traveling on a one-way ticket to Moscow. The Aeroflot flight landed in Moscow on Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Snowdens final destination was unclear, but there were signs that it might be beyond Moscow. The Russian foreign ministry said that Mr. Snowden appeared to be making a connection in Moscow to another destination, but did not say where.

Beware the unforeseen aviation accident.
Smart to fly commercial. Even Barry will likely not try to Hellfire an Aeroflot flight.
He just landed in Moscow.
So then Obama had no pull with the authorities in Hong Kong??? they let him leave the country.
Pooty poot captures another pawn.
If he’s going to Iceland..Russia’s the only path he could have taken without being arrested in flight.
Assange is working this for him....perhaps he’ll go to S.America which Assange suggested. I doubt he’ll stay in Russia.
Hope he finds a safe Country to settle in. I will never trust our Federal Government again. It is totally corrupt and never to be trusted again.
Russia should be sending him to us at any moment. They got a reset button from Hillary.
In a nutshell, Putin gives “O” the middle finger.
You can bet he ‘Payed” China to leave Hong Kong. Beijing made the call no doubt.
“So then Obama had no pull with the authorities in Hong Kong??? they let him leave the country.”
Hong Kong said the paperwork wasn’t precisely right and let Snowden go. A nice little FU to BO.
Already safe on the ground in Moscow.
He’s traveling with Wikileak Attorneys.
The closest adviser to Julian Assange, who orchestrated the release of the Wikileaks diplomatic cables three years ago, is named ‘Sarah Harrison’, prompting speculation that she was the Harrison on the flight with Mr. Snowden.
oh yes, Putin does NOT like Obama, the body language says everything!
and someone made sure that the paperwork was not "precisely right" so that Hong Kong could let him go.
The dummy should fly to Gitmo. Of all the world’s prisons, that one probably has the best of everything.
Yeah, 0's getting rolled again. I saw an article in the paper this morning that said the "administration" had "sharply warned" Hong Kong about jacking around with the Snowden's extradition. I turned on the T.V. and the news was tracking the plane as it was flying to Moscow.
What a pathetic imbecile we have running loose in the W.H.
Man, that dumbazz REALLY got the world respecting the U.S. again!
Hong Kong flips us off and 0 keeps on sputtering.
Bingo !
