Spain denies jet ban but ready to apologize to Bolivia

SPAIN is ready to apologize to Bolivia's president for events that delayed his plane, the foreign minister said yesterday, but he again denied banning the jet from Spanish airspace in the belief Edward Snowden was on board.

Bolivia has accused Spain, France, Portugal and Italy of closing their skies to President Evo Morales' plane after being told it was carrying the former US spy agency contractor from Moscow to Bolivia.

"If any misunderstanding has taken place, I don't have any objection to saying sorry to President Morales," Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said.

Bolivia has demanded that the four countries say who told them Snowden was on board the Morales flight.
