<\/p>\nEd Snowden was missing on a planned flight to Cuba.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
After Snowden left Hong Kong yesterday for Moscow, he was expected to board an Aeroflot plane scheduled to fly to Havana \u2014 the next stop on his journey to planned political asylum in Ecuador.<\/p>\n
However, journalists who boarded the same plane immediately noted that Snowden\u2019s seat was empty and that he had not made the flight. \u201cSnowden had never actually been sighted in Moscow, and there was actually no real evidence that he had ever been in Russia at all,\u201d\u00a0reports the Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n Snowden had been checked in for the SU150 flight and Wikileaks announced that its advisors were accompanying him to Havana. According to Interfax, Snowden has already left Russia but his destination is not known.<\/p>\n Washington had urged Russia to expel Snowden and send him back to the US before he could escape to Cuba, but Kremlin officials refused to comment on the situation, saying only that they had no idea where Snowden was located.<\/p>\n Earlier today, Ecuadoran foreign minister Ricardo Patino Arocam said he didn\u2019t know the whereabouts of Snowden, adding that his request for political asylum was still under consideration. Wikileaks\u2019 Julian Assange has been protected by the Ecuadoran Embassy in London for over a year.<\/p>\n Snowden\u2019s disappearance is likely to be part of a bait and switch so as to hide his precise movements. As\u00a0Mike Adams documented<\/a>\u00a0earlier today, the United States has proven that it does not respect the laws of other countries when seeking to kidnap individuals extrajudicially.<\/p>\n US lawmakers have demanded Snowden return to America to face charges. \u201cI want to get him caught and brought back for trial. I think the chase is on and we\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d Senate intelligence committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein said.<\/p>\n Both\u00a0US Secretary of State John Kerry<\/a>\u00a0and Senator\u00a0Charles Schumer<\/a>\u00a0have warned Russia and China that they face \u201cconsequences\u201d for failing to respond to requests to aid in the extradition of Snowden.<\/p>\n *********************<\/p>\n
