Diario Libre is reporting that state security agents as well as security agents from the US Embassy in Santo Domingo are investigating the arrival of 11 Iraqis to Santo Domingo's Las Americas International Airport. The Iraqis flew from Haiti. Of the 11 Iraqis, there are two pregnant women and a three-year old child. Diario Libre also writes that the group was detained for security concerns and the travelers could be deported within the next hours. The suspicion arose when the group arrived to the DR, without visas, with plans to continue on to Venezuela, Colombia, Curacao and Argentina though none had the proper visas to enter those countries. Officials said that they would be returned to Haiti, the country they originated from, as soon as possible.
