None

A prominent American author and former CNN program host says he was detained by Israel at a border crossing on a recent visit.

 

Iranian-born Reza Aslan tweeted Tuesday that he was held for hours, questioned about his politics and told to write down the names of Palestinians and journalists he knew and Palestinian organizations he supported. He says the woman who interrogated him threatened to separate him from his family.
