| Fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden is being given an official pass to leave Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, Russian reports say. | |
| Russia's Federal Migration Service is said to have issued a document, which he is due to receive shortly. | |
| He has been staying in transit since arriving from Hong Kong on 23 June. | |
| Wanted by the US authorities for leaking details of government surveillance programmes, he recently requested temporary asylum in Russia. | |
| He could leave the airport's "sterile zone" in the next few hours, a source close to events told Russia's Interfax news agency. | |
| The American will be provided with new clothing, the source added. | |
| The source added that the document would be handed to Mr Snowden by a lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena. |
