U.S. Requests Snowden’s Extradition From Hong Kong
The United States has contacted authorities in Hong Kong to seek the extradition of Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked classified information on U.S. surveillance programs to the media. White House National Security Adviser Tom Donilon confirmed the extradition request to CBS News on Saturday afternoon, saying he feels that the U.S. government has a “good case” against Snowden, and expects Hong Kong to comply with its request.
