Man barred from flight because of his name OSLO, Norway, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- A Swedish man says officials in the Oslo airport turned him away from his flight to Mexico because he shares a name with a known terrorist. Abdifateh Ahmed Mohamed, 30, was detained Monday when he was on his way to his "dream holiday" in Mexico. "They said I was a terrorist," he said. I've never been suspected of a crime in my whole life. Airport staff told Mohamed to call the U.S. Embassy after they decided not to let him on his flight. Christ Dunnett of the U.S. Embassy told Aftonbladet: "As the traveller wasn't travelling to, or through, the USA, this case shouldn't have had anything to do with American authorities." Mohamed has had problems with travel in the past for similar reasons, The Local reported. "My friends who don't have Muslim names can go straight through while I am taken into a room by the side of the desk," he said. I am actually thinking about getting rid of the name 'Ahmed' as it's always that bit which causes problems.
