| Description | BUFFALO, N.Y. — Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams was detained at a Washington airport Friday after attending a meeting of Irish leaders with President George W. Bush, causing him to miss a scheduled St. Patrick's Day appearance in Buffalo, a congressman said.
Adams' name and that of a travelling companion appeared on a terror watch list at Reagan National Airport, triggering a lengthy inspection, said U.S. Representative Brian Higgins, a New York Democrat, who invited Adams to speak at the Buffalo Irish Center.
"When I spoke with his assistant a little while ago, their luggage was still being, let's just say, inspected," Higgins told a crowd of several hundred people awaiting Adams' 7:15 p.m. EST address. |
