Saddam Hussein's step son expelled from the US to New Zealand

The US immigration department said on Tuesday it expelled to New Zealand the stepson of the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein who carries the New Zealand nationality and who was held in custody last week in Miami, Florida.

The spokesman for the US immigration department said that Muhammad Nur Eddine Safi was expelled to New Zealand on Monday, adding that the son of the Iraqi president' wife is not involved in any crime.

Safi who works as a mechanic in the New Zealand airline company was arrested on July 3 in Maiami upon his arrival from New Zealand through Los Angeles. He did not have visa for study while he was intending to have lessons in the same flight school in which executors of September 11 attacks on the US had studied.
