Green, pleasant land (of paradoxes)
Anti-terror police arrest 3 at Gatwick Three men were detained at one of Britain's busiest airports and later arrested under anti-terrorism legislation. Immigration officials at Gatwick Airport held the men, aged 28, 29 and 30, while they were "in transit". Officers from Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch and their colleagues at Sussex Police then arrested the men. Storm as Taliban fighter seeks asylum The Home Office is being urged to deport a former Taliban fighter seeking asylum in Britain. The unnamed man fled Afghanistan and told British authorities he feared being killed by the Northern Alliance if he returned. He has applied for asylum in Cardiff, insisting he was forced to fight for the Taliban. But the leader of the Welsh Conservatives has asked the Home Secretary to block the request because of security fears. Posted by: Anonymous 2003-01-18 |
