Hong Kong Allows Snowden's Departure, Seeks Info on U.S. Hacking 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Hong Kong allowed Snowden to leave despite a request by the United
States to arrest him, saying documents submitted by the United States
did not "fully comply with the legal requirements under Hong Kong law"
and it had no legal basis to prevent him leaving. The Hong Kong
government also said it wanted more information about alleged U.S.
hacking of computer systems in Hong Kong. Over the weekend, the South
China Morning Post published new revelations by Snowden about how the
United States hacked China's mobile-phone companies and two
universities.
