CAT STEVENS DEPORTED


Peace activist and singer/songwriter Cat Stevens is being deported from the US after being denied entry because his name appeared on a security "watch list".

A transatlantic flight he was travelling on to Washington DC was diverted under FBI orders and the former pop star was escorted from the plane.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said the singer was denied access to the US "on national security grounds" and would be returned to Britain later today.
