Curiosity of the day: in London 3-month-old baby was suspected of terrorism

In Britain because of an error of the grandfather of the baby was suspected of terrorism and called for questioning.

In London three children, who flew on his first leave, was summoned to the U.S. Embassy on suspicion of terrorism.

62-year-old grandfather of little Paul Kenyon, who lives in the US, by mistake in visa application form, answering the question “do you intend to engage in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage or genocide, or already engaged in the similar?” wrote “Yes” instead of no. This became known only after the child refused to travel.

“I couldn’t believe that they did not understand that it was a mistake, and three is not able to hurt anyone,” he told Kenyon.

Initially a three-month baby was taken to his first vacation to Florida. Instead, the child was taken from a home in Poynton (Cheshire) to the Embassy in London, where he was interrogated. The trip there and back took about 10 hours.

“Baby Harvey well behaved and didn’t cry,” said the grandfather of the baby.

Error with visa cost the family $ 3 thousand pounds.
