DHAKA: Four US whistleblowers who have met with former National Security Agency systems analyst Edward Snowden say he is settling into life in Russia and expresses no regrets about leaking highly classified information.

The whistleblowers were the first Americans known to have met Snowden since he was granted asylum in Russia in August.

They spoke to media on Thursday, a day after meeting with Snowden at a secret location, reports The Straits Times.

One of them, former NSA executive Thomas Drake, says he believes that Snowden ‘is making the best of his circumstances and is living as normally as possible’.

Also on Thursday, Snowden’s father, Lon, arrived in Moscow to see his son.
