ISTANBUL — Turkish authorities have begun deporting back to Britain nine British citizens who were arrested trying to cross into Syria, a Turkish official said Tuesday. One of the group was expelled late Monday. British police said he was arrested on arrival at Birmingham Airport on suspicion of a terrorist offense. Shakil Ahmed, a Labor Party councilor in Rochdale, northwest England, has identified the man as his 21-year-old son, Waheed Ahmed. The other eight Britons were expected to fly back Tuesday from the southern city of Antalya to Manchester. — AP
