The accusations come just one week after Morales’ presidential plane, which was returning from Russia, was banned from European airspace and forced to land in Austria in the belief that NSA leaker Edward Snowden, who is presently in Moscow, was on board. Bolivia asserts that it was US officials who were behind the decision to ground Morales’ aircraft. During the Mercosur summit, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Uruguay showed allegiance with Bolivia, saying the incident violated international law. As a result, ambassadors from the five major Latin American countries will be recalled from France, Spain, Portugal and Italy, the four EU countries that closed their airspace to Morales’ plane. Bolivia has joined Venezuela and Nicaragua in offering asylum to Edward Snowden, 30, the former systems analyst for the US National Security Agency (NSA) who released top-secret information on a ‘data-mining’ global surveillance system, called PRISM, which reportedly collects and stores communications on friends and enemies alike.
