The Austrian "Die Presse" (diepresse.com) reports:
It [the plane] landed at around 23:00. Shortly after that an urgent telephone call arrived at the Vienna Foreign Office. At the other end of the line: US embassador William Eacho. As "Die Presse" learned, he claimed with great insistence that Edward Snowden was on board, the Whistleblower of the recent wiretapping scandals, who is wanted by the USA. Eacho referred to a diplomatic note, in which the US demand Snowden's extradition.
As if there would be any question, who was behind that all.
Quote:Sie landete gegen 23 Uhr. Kurz danach ging im Wiener Außenamt ein dringlicher Anruf ein. Am anderen Ende der Leitung: US-Botschafter William Eacho. Wie "Die Presse" erfuhr, behauptete er mit großer Bestimmtheit, dass Edward Snowden an Bord sei, der von den USA gesuchte Aufdecker jüngster Abhörskandale. Eacho habe auf eine diplomatische Note verwiesen, in der die USA die Auslieferung Snowdens verlangten.Translation:
