WikiLeaks said it needs a reply from Iceland on whether former U.S. national security contractor Edward Snowden will be granted asylum before it transports him to the Nordic island.
“We don’t want to fly him to Iceland if it only means that he’ll be thrown into an Icelandair plane heading toward Washington or Guantanamo Bay,” Olafur Vignir Sigurvinsson, a representative of WikiLeaks, said in a telephone interview.
