Cairo airport authorities prevented three passengers from entering the country over their failure to get the entry visa and security approvals necessary for the entry.

A security source at the airport said measures are under way to deport the passengers, adding one of them is a Sudanese national who came from Khartoum while the two others are Syrians who arrived from Turkey.

Assistant Minister of Interior and the Director of the Airport Security Major General Tarek Fathy said the Syrians and the Sudanese will be deported to the countries they came from.
