The US State Department has seized the passport of former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, he told RT on Monday.
Ritter was on his way to Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) when he was pulled off the plane and had his documents confiscated.
“My passport was seized by the State Department,” Ritter told RT in a message. “I was pulled off the airplane.”
“I’m fine, just aggravated,” he added.
