An Iraq Olympic Committee official said Ayman Hussein, a well-known forward with
the Iraq national football team participating in the World Cup, was detained and
questioned for seven hours on arrival at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on
the 6th; his phone was searched and he was later allowed entry. A team
photographer was held for more than 10 hours, had his phone checked and was
ultimately denied entry, Refinitiv cited the official.
