A terror-alert suspect was actually a Palestinian jeweler misidentified by forged documents

Evidence

One of the five terror suspects, the individual identified as Mustafa Khan Owasi, was in fact Muhammad Ashgar, a jeweler from Lahore, Pakistan. Ashgar claimed he had never set foot in the United States but had attempted to travel to Britain two months earlier using forged documents. He was stopped at the airport in Dubai, where his false documents were detected, and was immediately deported to Pakistan. — Junaid Rana, Terrifying Muslims, 267
