BRUSSELS - Bolivia's ambassador to the United Nations denied Wednesday that the former US spy agency contractor Edward Snowden was on plane with Bolivian President Evo Morales, media reports said.
An airplane carrying Morales was diverted to Vienna after taking off from Moscow Tuesday on suspicions that Edward Snowden was on board.
Currently, the plane has taken off from Vienna airport after a voluntary inspection by the Austrian authorities found no unauthorized people on board.
Austria's move was considered by Bolivia as an act of aggression and a violation of international law, media quoted Bolivia's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva as saying on Wednesday.
The plane was forced to land in the airport of Austrian capital after France and Portugal abruptly cancelled air permits for it, according to the reports.
