Five Syrians caught in Honduras heading for U.S. freed from jail

Five Syrian men caught in Honduras trying to reach the United States last month on fake Greek passports were freed from jail on Tuesday, after they agreed to pay a fine in exchange for the charges against them to be dropped, a court spokeswoman said. Caught in Tegucigalpa's Toncontin airport in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, the Syrians had aroused fears in the United States of the possibility of Isis fighters entering through the country's southern borer with Mexico.
