Snowed's father soon to come to Russia

The father of fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden is expected to come to Russia along with other relatives in the near future, Snowden’s attorney said Monday, RIA-Novosti reports.
“Visas have been granted,” RIA-Novosti quotes Snowden's lawyer Anatoly Kucherena.
The younger Snowden, a former US intelligence contractor, is wanted by the United States on espionage and theft charges after leaking classified information about the US National Security Agency’s sweeping telephone and electronic surveillance programs.
