| Saddam's stepson held in Florida after enrolling in flight school |
| 2002-07-05 |
| Saddam Hussein's stepson remained jailed on immigration violations Thursday for enrolling at a U.S. flight school without applying for a student visa. Mohammed Nour al-Din Saffi, a citizen of New Zealand, had planned to attend a Miami-based flight school used by one of the Sept. 11 hijackers. Authorities in New Zealand said there was no evidence Saffi, 36, was connected to any terrorist group. The Iraqi leader's stepson was traveling as a tourist under a visa waiver as a citizen of New Zealand, INS officials said. The violation is that he entered the United States without applying for a student visa that would have allowed him to take courses. He is being processed for deportation. Except for the vague association with Sammy, there's nothing to this story. Book closed. I feel sorry for the guy. |
