Turns out I was wrong. Snowden withrew his Russian asylum request. A quick scan of the websites that I rely on for major news (CNN and the BBC) turn up nothing new on Snowden.
Instead, most of the attention has been focused on Egypt (no suprise), The Mandela family drama and the Bolivian President’s aeroplane being denied access to the air space of certain countries (because they thought Snowden was on board).
