DUBAI (AFP) - A two-year-old Emirati boy was briefly held at Dubai airport after he appeared on a list of wanted security suspects.
Immigration officers approached toddler Suhail Saleh's parents as they wheeled their son's pram to a flight to Turkey last month for a holiday and told them he was not allowed to fly, Emirates Today reported Tuesday.
"I thought he was joking and said 'take him if you want,'" his father Abdullah told the daily.
"They said they wanted my son, as the date of birth, the passport number and all other details in the system showed they had the correct Suhail."
The infant was eventually allowed to fly after a probe revealed he was on the wanted list by mistake and "after making sure that he was travelling with his parents," the paper quoted an interior ministry official as saying.
