　　斯诺登的父亲到达俄罗斯

　　MOSCOW, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Father of the fugitive¹ U.S. intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden arrived Thursday in Moscow, local television said.

　　Lon Snowden arrived early morning at the Sheremetyevo international airport, where his son had been trapped in the transit² area for more than a month before receiving a temporary asylum³.

　　Lon told reporters he felt "extreme gratitude⁴ that my son is safe and secure and he is free," though he had no direct contact with Edward.

　　Meanwhile, the father said he was not sure that Snowden could ever return to the United States, where he faces espionage⁵ charges over disclosing a classified intelligence surveillance project.
