Iraqi Traveler With Butt Device Faces Deportation
(AP) LOS ANGELES An Iraqi immigrant who was found to have a suspicious device lodged in his rectum last week at LAX now faces deportation after immigration agents discovered two violent convictions in his past.
Immigration agents reviewing Fadhel Al-Maliki's case say they've found he had been convicted in the past for domestic violence and for possession of an illegal weapon.
Those convictions violate the terms of his status as a permanent U.S. resident and make him subject to deportation.
Al-Maliki triggered the alert during a screening for a flight to Philadelphia. The FBI says he told screeners about the device he was carrying, which he said he used to fight stress.
Officials say the device had a wire and what may have been a magnet.
The find led to the diversion of a Philadelphia-bound jet carrying his checked luggage to Las Vegas.
