United States intelligence fugitive Edward Snowden has left Hong Kong on a flight bound for Moscow, reports say.
The South China Morning Post, quoting what it says are credible sources, said he was due to arrive in Moscow on Sunday evening.
It said Moscow would not be his final destination.
Snowden, an intelligence analyst, fled to Hong Kong in May after revealing details of extensive internet and phone surveillance by the US gencies.

Interesting chess move by Snowden, if true. Will be a relatively safe place for him, but a huge propaganda coup for the USA. [Russian sleeper spy, all along...blah, blah, blah....]
Quote:Vladimir Putin's spokesman says any appeal for asylum from whistleblower who fled US will be looked at 'according to facts'
Will be interesting to see if it is his final destination...or just a stop-over on the way to Iceland or...?
