A Lebanese citizen wanted in the United States for suspected ties to terrorism was detained at the Buenos Aires international airport, Ezeiza. Khalil Mohamed El Sayed tried to enter Argentina with fake documets from Paraguay on Wednesday night, according to state-run news agency Télam. The detention “was possible thanks to a system implemented by the Security Ministry that connects Interpol International’s network with that of Customs,” according to Télam. The area commonly known as the “tri-border” that connects Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina has long been seen as a hub of illegal activity. El Sayed is currently being detained in the Ezeiza prison.
