MOSCOW (AP) -- Aeroflot says a Cuba-bound flight for which National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden was registered has departed from Moscow, but he has not been seen on board.<br />
<br />
An airline representative told The Associated Press that the Havana-bound flight has left Moscow. The representative, who wouldn't give her name as she wasn't authorized to speak to the media, said Snowden wasn't on the flight.<br />
<br />
AP reporters on the flight couldn't see Snowden in the seat he booked or anywhere else on the plane.<br />
<br />
The airline said earlier Snowden registered for the flight using his U.S. passport, which American officials say has been annulled.<br />
<br />
Snowden arrived in Moscow on Sunday from Hong Kong, where he had been hiding for several weeks to evade U.S. justice. Ecuador is considering Snowden's asylum application.
