Russia denies links to Edward Snowden, slams US criticism
Moscow: Russia has denied it had any involvement in the travel plans of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden and lashed out at US today for accusing it of assisting him to flee.

"We are in no way involved with either Mr Snowden, his relations with US justice, nor to his movements around the world," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a news conference.

He said Snowden "did not cross the Russian border" and slammed as "groundless and unacceptable" attempts to blame Russia for his disappearance.
