WASHINGTON - A plane bound for Washington from London was diverted to Maine on Tuesday after passenger Yusuf Islam — formerly known as pop singer Cat Stevens (news) — showed up on a U.S. watch list, federal officials said.
United Airlines Flight 919 had already taken off from London en route to Dulles International Airport when the match was made between the passenger and the watch list, said Nico Melendez, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration.
The plane was met by federal agents at Maine's Bangor International Airport around 3 p.m., Melendez said.
Federal officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, identified the individual as Islam.
One official said Islam, 56, was identified by the Advanced Passenger Information System, which requires airlines to send passenger information to U.S. Customs and Border Protection's National Targeting Center. TSA was then contacted and requested that the plane land at the nearest airport, the official said.
"He was interviewed and denied admission to the United States on national security grounds," said Homeland Security spokesman Dennis Murphy. He said the man would be put on the first available flight out of the country Wednesday.
Islam, who was born Stephen Georgiou, took Cat Stevens as a stage name and had a string of hits in the 1960s and '70s, including "Wild World" and "Morning Has Broken." Last year he released two songs, including a re-recording of his '70s hit "Peace Train," to express his opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq (news - web sites).

RUINS It's so quiet in the ruins walking though the old town Stones crumbling under my feet I see smoke for miles around Oh it's enough to make you weep, all that remains of the main street Up in the park on Sunday, dogs chasing and the children played Old man with his head down, can't see nothing more around...no But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days, So nice to see you coming back in this town again It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through having tea In the afternoon, so nice to see you coming back in this town again... Ah but it's all changed winter turned on man Came down on day when no-one was looking and it Stole away the land, people running scared, losing hands Dodging shadows of falling sand, buildings standing like empty shells And nobody...helping no-one else Young child with his hands high, ain't able to see no reason why...no But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days, So nice to see you coming back in this town again It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through You'd better know what you're going through now You came back here to find your home is a black horizon That you don't recognize, evil destruction has taken everything You'd better walk on the side while you're still walking Just keep on walking on down the street keep your distance From the people you meet. Oh Lord and you'd better watch your eyes 'Cause if smoke gets in them, baby you won't rise again. Where's it leading to freedom at what cost People needing more and more and it's all getting lost I want back, I want back Back to the time when the earth was green And there was no high walls and the sea was clean Don't stop that sun to shine, it's not yours or mine...no.
At least we didn't rob him of thousands in cash like the Kosovars did a few years back. He likes interfering with international affairs involving "the religion of peace" . I'm glad he's personna non grata here
I'd be scared, too, if I saw this guy on an airplane. Or anywhere for that matter...
On your deathbed, you will recieve total consciousness!
Well, at least I have THAT going fo me, which is nice.
You are the wind beneath my wings bump! (For I will a-a-a-a-a-a--lways lo-o-o-o-o--ve you-oo-oo-oo-oo...)
