| Police at Sri Lanka's international airport detained three passengers arriving from the Maldives on suspicion of having links to Al Qaeda, a senior police officer said today. The passengers were booked to continue to Qatar, but were taken away as they waited at the transit lounge after arriving from Male, the Maldivian capital, said the officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The passengers, one man and two women, were being interrogated by Sri Lanka's Criminal Investigation Department. No other details were available. |
