Austria's Foreign Ministry spokesman has confirmed that a report of Edward Snowden's presence on the plane is fallacious. The former U. S. spy agency contractor Edward Snow was thought to have boarded the plane to Austria. These were the rumors that Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner had mentioned. This had resulted in worry lines on the head of US and many other countries.

Bolivian President Evo Morales' plane was permitted to land. This was in context of the fact that Austria denied any rumors that Edward Snowden was present on the plane. Speaking on the matter, the spokesman said, "Austria did not close its airspace and the plane could of course land although many other countries apparently feared that Snowden was on board too".

Washington eagerly wants the person who has been enveloped with charges of breaching law. He had earlier applied for asylum in Austria and several other countries. According to the spokesman, it has been decided by the government that Snowden has to apply for refuge before taking asylum in Austria.

Earlier, with the help of country's Moscow embassy he had applied for refuge on Monday. He has been looking for asylum in many other countries as well. The Austria Press Agency has clearly said that the government will not give arrest warrant if he is found Austria.
