Snowden leaves airport, granted asylum in Russia: lawyer

Fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden has left Moscow's airport after being granted asylum for one year in Russia, his lawyer says.
Snowden, who leaked details on the National Security Agency's secretive PRISM data-logging spy program has been granted temporary asylum, lawyer Anatoly Kucherena told TV broadcaster Russia 24.
Mr Kucherena added that Snowden left the airport for an undisclosed secure location.
"His location is not being made public for security reasons since he is the most pursued man on the planet. He himself will decide where he will go," he said.
