El Salvador Deports Apparent Jordanians
El Salvador on Tuesday expelled two men believed to be Jordanians who presented false documents that led some regional officials to wonder if they might be terrorists _ a question that remained open even as they flew off. Salvadoran Immigration Director Wilfredo Rosales said the men were placed on a commercial flight to Mexico, where they were to transfer to a flight to Europe and then another to Jordan. "At this moment we cannot say if they are or are not terrorists," he said. "It's a pretty big question." The men had arrived in the country as in-transit passengers, expelled from Costa Rica and supposedly headed for Honduras. As a result, Rosales said, Salvadoran authorities could not legally intervene. On Monday, Costa Rica's immigration director Marco Badilla said the men had been deported after arriving in his country with well-crafted European passports. He said they had apparently been headed for Canada.Posted by: Fred 2004-09-21 |
