A US Army soldier who fled to Canada rather than return to Iraq was briefly detained and questioned in British Columbia, border security officials said Wednesday.
Police in the city of Nelson detained Kyle Snyder, 23, on Friday on a detention order issued by the Canadian Border Services Agency.
"We felt he might be inadmissible to Canada," said agency spokeswoman Janis Fergusson. "He was interviewed and released."
