According to a top Kremlin official, Edward Snowden, who leaked sensitive U.S. intelligence information has decided to accept asylum in Venezuela.

"As was expected, Snowden agreed to (Venezuelan President Nicolas) Maduro's offer of political asylum," tweeted the chief of Russia’s lower parliament international affairs committee.

"Apparently this option looked like the most reliable one to Snowden." News.com reported.

Right after his agreement to the deal was announced, it was deleted from Twitter.

The announcement from the Kremlin came days after offers similar offers from Nicaragua, Venezuela and Bolivia . The Bolivian president was rerouted from landing in European air space on suspicion that Snowden was on his presidential plane.

The leaders of Latin American countries convened together to express their support for Bolivian president Morales, who was under the impression that the U.S. had asked four European nations like Spain and Italy not to offer their air space, making the president go to Vienna for a layover before returning to Bolivia.

Snowden had filed a collective asylum in three countries and he will decide where to file for the “collective humanitarian political asylum," reports AAP.

Since Snowden’s arrival at Sheremetyevo transit zone, from Hong Kong on June 23 when the whole fiasco began, it is not sure whether he will be able to leave the zone without valid paperwork.

Reports say that since there is no direct flight to Caracus, the fastest way to get to Venezuela would be to fly to Havana. .
