Venezuela is offering "humanitarian asylum" to U.S. National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, President Nicolás Maduro said Friday, suggesting his country could offer the leaker a way out of his apparent limbo in a Moscow airport but provided no details as to how it could happen.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega also said his country would consider such a request by Mr. Snowden.

On Saturday, Bolivian President Evo Morales said Mr. Snowden is welcome in his country, according to the Associated Press. Mr. Morales didn't say if he has received a formal petition for asylum from Mr. Snowden.
