Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - A Jordanian travelling to Chicago was denied entry into the United States by a customs official for sharing the same name as Iraq's late president, Saddam Hussein, according to a report by Al Kawn News.

Saddam Hussein Ali Al Hawamdeh was forced to return to Amman after being humilated by the customs official who cancelled his visa.

Considering the financial loss for the visa, airline tickets, and for quitting his job to go to the US, Mr. Al Hawamdeh intends to sue the customs official who so rudely rejected him based on his name.
