Reports from Moscow say the fugitive former American intelligence analyst Edward Snowden has applied for political asylum. He's been at an airport in Moscow for more than a week. ____________________________________ Steve Rosenberg reports. According to a consular official at Moscow airport, Edward Snowden's asylum application was submitted on Sunday night. It was delivered by Sarah Harrison, a member of the Wikileaks legal team. But will the Kremlin agree to it? Earlier President Putin appeared to suggest otherwise. Mr Snowden, he said, could only remain in Russia if he agreed to stop leaking secrets that were damaging America.And since there was little sign of that, the Kremlin leader added, the American, who's currently in limbo in an airport transit zone, should choose an onward destination. 来自莫斯科的报道称,在逃的前美国情报分析员爱德华.斯诺登已向俄罗斯提出政治庇护申请.他在莫斯科机场已逗留一周多.____________________________________史蒂夫.罗森博格报道. 莫斯科机场的一名领事官员透露,爱德华.斯诺登于周日晚提交庇护申请.申请书由维基解密律师团队的一名成员代为递交.但克林姆林宫是否会同意给予庇护?普京总统早前的暗示似乎表明不太可能. 普京表示,斯诺登只有同意停止泄露损害美国的秘密信息才能留在俄罗斯.这位克林姆林宫的领导人还补充道,既然身处机场过境区游荡的斯诺登还没有要停止泄密的迹象,那么他应该选择其它目的地.
