A WikiLeaks spokesman who claims to represent Edward Snowden has reached out to government officials in Iceland about the potential of the NSA leaker applying for asylum in the Nordic country, officials there said yesterday.
Johannes Skulason, an Icelandic government official, said WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson had held informal talks with assistants at the Interior Ministry and the prime minister's office.
Skulason said Hrafnsson "was in contact with Snowden and wanted to see what the legal framework was like."
To apply for asylum, Snowden must be on Icelandic soil.
Snowden initially fled to Hong Kong and is now in hiding.
