The United States has refused to give visas to four Israelis who are “terror victims or relatives of those killed in attacks” because they were born in the Islamic republic of Iran, Israel Radio reported Wednesday. 

 

The four were scheduled to leave Wednesday night for Los Angeles to take part in a conference with other “terror victims”, the report added.  

 

Washington has instituted a policy requiring that all visa applicants that were born in an Islamic country must wait three weeks before being granted permission to enter the country. (Albawaba.com)
