WASHINGTON — A Virginia man whose time in Yemen earned FBI scrutiny and left him stuck in the Middle East for nearly two months on a no-fly list is back on U.S. soil.
Yahya Wehelie’s flight landed in New York on Saturday afternoon. The 26-year-old U.S. citizen of Somali descent went to Yemen nearly two years ago at his parents’ urging to learn Arabic. When he tried to return, FBI agents questioned him for days. He was placed on a no-fly list, leaving him stuck in Cairo until recently, when his no-fly status was removed.
