Syrian man stuck in Tom Hanks-like limbo at airport

Wasfi Tayseer Jarad has been stuck at the airport’s Terminal 2 since being freed from prison after serving time for a drugs conviction and issued with a deportation order, the English-language Gulf News reported.
With his native Syria in political turmoil, like Hanks’ homeland in the 2004 film, authorities in Dubai gave the 34-year-old the option to travel to anywhere that would take him.
