Dominican, U.S. agents detain 11 Iraqis who came from Haiti
Santo Domingo.- Government security agents and United States embassy officials are questioning a group of 11 Iraqis, 2 pregnant women and a 3 year old boy among them, who arrived in the country in transit from Haiti.
Upon arriving in the Las Americas International Airport, Dominican intelligence and U.S embassy officials detained the Iraqis, and escorted them to the Quality Hotel, located near the airport, where they stayed.
They were detained for security reasons and could be deported in the next hours.
According to Immigration authorities quoted by the newspaper Diario Libre, the foreigners arrived in the Dominican Republic in transit, with an itinerary that includes Venezuela, Colombia, Curaçao and Argentina, though without a visa to enter those countries, according their own statement.
"All that's necessary is being done to return them to Haiti, country of origin as the law establishes", said an Immigration supervisor in the terminal, who refused to give his name.
Among the detained Iraqis are Nissam Luma, Nissam Mahir, Elda Loayi, Nisam Mazir, Elsa Kaesar, Jamel Dalea, Kekmet Ehab, Manssur Dane and a minor.
