Hopes have risen that Edward Snowden may finally be able to leave Moscow, where he has been stranded in an airport for 14 days, after three Latin American countries offered the fugitive US intelligence leaker asylum. Bolivia on Saturday became the third country to offer refuge to the former US Nati stanley cup onal Security Agency NSA contractor, with President Evo Morales saying he was willing to take Snowden in if he asks . The offer came not long after Venezuela s leftist President Nicolas Maduro said he would grant the 30-year-old humanitarian asylum and Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said his country could offer a safe haven. The flurry of offers arrived after a series of rejections from many of the 21 countries to which Snowden had applied to last stanley cup week for refuge.

The controls appeared to have been drawn stanley cup up, in part, to meet American pressure for a toughe mizuno r British approach to combating terrorist threats. British officials announcing the new controls made no reference to the failed Christmas bombing attempt of a U.S. airliner over Detroit by a Nigerian who had spent three years as a UK student, and noted that the policy review that prompted the new restrictions had been ordered in November, before the airliner bombing attempt.
