Five Syrians have been charged with falsifying documents after Honduras caught them trying to enter the Central American country using stolen Greek passports.
A Honduran law enforcement spokesman said the men were detained on Tuesday at the Tegucigalpa international airport after a heads-up from Interpol. The spokesman said the international organization followed the group from Syria, to Lebanon and Turkey, then on to Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica and Honduras.
