"Police Detain Two Passengers on Dominican-Bound Flight After Suspicious Behavior"

The Associated Press

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic Jan. 5 — Two Canadian men were detained for suspected links to terrorism after acting strangely aboard a flight from France to the Dominican Republic, authorities said Monday.

The two were detained after Air Europa Flight 89 landed in Santo Domingo Sunday night, said Gen. Fernando Cruz Mendez, director of national Investigations. They have not been charged and authorities did not find any weapons, Cruz said.

"They acted very nervous on board," he said. "They went in and out of the bathrooms, including a few times together."

He did not say why Dominican authorities suspected the men had possible links to terrorist activities."
