| El Salvador Deports Apparent Jordanians |
| 2004-09-21 |
| 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. |

| #2 The article means to say that they could not hold them long enough to run some checks on them? WTF? What if it was Binny or someone who was a real terrorist? The Salvadorian gov't must be kidding. This is assinine. |
