19. 5. The Claim: US presents Bolivia with an extradition request for Edward Snowden
Thu Jul 4, 2013, 01:39 PM
Jul 2013

Claim: U.S. Government has presented Bolivia with an extradition request for the former CIA anylist Edward Snowden, according to Bolivia's Minister of Foreign Affairs

According Foreign Minister Choquehuanca this extradition request explains the actions of several European countries when they closed their airspace to the plane of the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, thinking that Edward Snowden could be on that on the plane.

---

Fact: The U.S. Government sent letters to all countries that are potential asylum targets for Snowden. Not just Bolivia.
