US President Barack Obama says he will not be ‘scrambling jets to get a 29-year old hacker,” referring to fugitive Edward Snowden, the man who leaked details of US internet surveillance to the media. Obama adds Snowden’s stay in a Moscow airport shows he did not possess documents allowing him to travel further. Kremlin says he is in the transit zone of Sheremetyevo airport after arriving on a flight from Hong Kong Sunday. There has not been a single sighting of Snowden at the airport and his travel plans remain a mystery. His ultimate destination appears to be Ecuador. Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa on Thursday described the situation as “complex”, insisting that Snowden needs to arrive in Ecuador first so his request can be processed.
