Former Norwegian Prime Minister held for questioning at Dulles Airport
Kjell Magne Bondevik served as prime minister of Norway two separate times, from 1997-2000 and 2001-2005.
He flew into Dulles Airport from Europe Tuesday afternoon and says he was not immediately allowed to leave after customs agents saw in his passport that he had been to Iran.
He showed ABC7 that his passport also indicates he is the former prime minister of Norway, a U.S. ally.
"Of course I fully understand the fear of letting terrorists come into this country," Bondevik told ABC7 outside the Washington Hilton Wednesday night.
But, he said, it should have been obvious he's not a terrorist.
