  • The five Syrians were arrested in Honduras with forged Greek passports
  • Men obtained stolen documents in Brazil and had their photos added on
  • Officials believe they were making their way towards the United States
  • Only had hand luggage with them to avoid checks as they made journey
  • After missing a flight because of delays, they were found to not be Greek
  • Men are not considered terrorists, Honduran officials tell Daily Mail Online
  • Men fled Syria after fears they would be kidnapped by ISIS, police say
Five Syrian men who caused international alarm when they were stopped in Central America on their way to the United States were only caught because their flight was delayed, Daily Mail Online has learned exclusively. If the last Avianca Airlines flight from San Jose, Costa Rica, to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, had not been held up on Tuesday, the men would have been free to travel on. But it was so late they missed their connecting flight to the northern Honduras city of San Pedro Sula, just 20 miles from the border. From there they planned to cross into Guatemala and travel by land through Mexico to the United States.
