Bolivia anger over 'jet agression'

Bolivia has accused European countries of an "act of agression" for refusing to allow its Presidential jet into their airspace, amid suggestions US fugitive Edward Snowden was onboard. Bolivia said France, Italy, Spain and Portugal had blocked the plane from flying over their territory. President Evo Morales was flying back to Bolivia from Moscow when the plane was forcd to stop in Vienna. The jet was reportedly then searched for Mr Snowden, who is wanted for leaking US secrets. He was apparently not on board, and still in a Moscow airport; from where he is seeking asylum in over 20 countries, including Bolivia. The incident came hours after the Bolivian President said the country would consider a request for political asylum of Mr Snowden. Bolivia's UN envoy told reporters in Geneva that he would complain to the UN about the European countries actions.
