UB40 Ouster: Members of the British pop band UB40 were deported from the Seychelles Islands early Wednesday, and police had to intervene to prevent an airport brawl with a photographer. Five musicians and two technicians, ordered to leave after being arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana, scuffled with a British photographer trying to take their picture as they boarded an Air France flight to Paris. Police said there was enough evidence to charge the group with illegal possession of drugs--an offense which carries a mandatory three-year jail sentence--but decided to deport them instead.
