The 29-year-old government contractor revealed himself as the source behind bombshell leaks of US monitoring of Internet users and phone records, as US intelligence pressed for a criminal probe. Snowden, who has been working at the National Security Agency for the past four years, admitted his role in a video interview posted on the website of The Guardian, the first newspaper to publish the leaked information.
