  The news content of the article is that the Norwegian Pirate Party claimed on their twitter feed that Snowden is going to Oslo next: https://twitter.com/PiratPartiet_No/status/348788713674899457 https://twitter.com/PiratPartiet_No/status/34878871367489945... The rest of the article is some fairly loose speculation re: whether he's really coming to Norway, will be heading to Iceland (perhaps via Norway), or will be heading to Latin America as previously reported.

    So they say that Pirate Party International instructed them Snowden will land in Oslo. Maybe a trail that was planted (but more likely misunderstandings).

Pirate Party: Snowden has a stopover at Gardermoen According to the Russian news agency the possibility exists that Edward Snowden will stay overnight at Venezuela's embassy in Moscow. On Monday a plane will leave for Havana. This has also been confirmed by Wikileaks on Twitter: "Edward Snowden has just landed in Moscow." It is currently unknown what happened after Snowden landed around 3 o'clock Norwegian time. The Russian news agency Interfax reports in the meantime that the former CIA-agent has been met by representatives from Venezuela's embassy after he landed. That way he can avoid setting foot on Russian soil and therefore does not need a visa. Snowden is a former CIA-employee and stands behind extensive leaks on American surveillance. He had been located in Hong Kong until Sunday. Unknown destination There circulate different rumours about where Snowden eventually will travel. The only thing WikiLeaks will say about Snowden's flight from Hong Kong is that he will go to "a democratic land". Alternative 1: Norway One alternative, and maybe the most sensible, is that he will try to get himself to Iceland. TV2 reports that the Norwegian Private Party will meet in secret with Edward Snowden at Gardermoen on Sunday evening during the stopover on his way to Iceland. The party reported on Twitter that its leader Østein Jakobsen himself will meet Snowden at Gardermoen. - We have been informed from our international umbrella party, Pirate Parties International (PPI) that he will have a stopover in Norway. The reason for that is this is probably the fastest and easiest way to get to Iceland, says Tale Østrådal of the Pirate Party Norway to TV2. The Pirate Party's leader Øystein Jakobsen reinforces that the hints whether Snowden will come to Norway are based on rumours from contacts in the international pirate party network, writes NRK. Alternative 2: Iceland Officials in Hong Kong informed the USA on Sunday that Snowden was on his way to Moscow. He left Hong Kong aboard an Aeroflot plane on Sunday morning. According to WikiLeaks, he has diplomats and legal advisors with him on the plane, while they had helped him with travel documents, a safe exit from Hong Kong and political asylum in a democratic land. [etc. etc. etc., nobody is probably going to read this, but this is a quick and sloppy translation that should not be too far off...]
