Is This Lady Barred from the US Because Her Name Resembles ‘Al-Qaeda’?
LatestSo this is a pretty bizarre story. A French woman attempting to travel on holiday to New York with her husband and two children was denied entry into the US for no apparent reason.
Aïda Alic and her family had a connection in Geneva, and as she was getting ready to board, she was informed by Swiss Airlines officials that she was blacklisted and was therefore denied access. Her family had no choice but to cancel the trip and the family lost around $3,800 as their return flights were non-refundable. And Alic, who claims no connection to extremist or terrorist organizations, was left absolutely clueless as to why she could not enter the US.
