Salvador denies information on terrorists' entry into Central America
El Salvador denied on Wednesday the information about a possible entry of al-Qaida suspects into Central America and said it only requested further security along borderlines, said the reports from Salvador's capital San Salvador.

Vice Minister of Public Security Rodrigo Avila said they gave the other Central American countries "routine information" about preventing terrorists from entering the region.

On Tuesday, El Salvador and Nicaragua said they were on alert for entry of al-Qaida members Ahmad Salim Swaydan and another one known as Altuwiti, who was allegedly involved in the attack on the US Embassy in Thailand in April 2002.

Nicaraguan Deputy Director of Migration Nidia Barboza said on Tuesday that El Salvador had informed them about the possible terrorists travel in the country or in Costa Rica.

"We received the official information from Thailand about the supposed intention of some presumed terrorists to travel to South American countries and we entered it into our data bases as we do everyday with similar files."

"We never said they were in Central America." he added.
