A few more Chinese...

A group of suspected illegal immigrants was being questioned early Tuesday after federal officials forced their single-engine plane to land here.
The Cessna carried at least four suspected illegal immigrants who were detained along with the craft's pilot by homeland security officials in connection with a possible smuggling operation.
Online records of the Federal Aviation Administration show the 20-year-old plane is co-owned by Afzal Hameed of Dover, Del.
Capt. Jeff Humphrey, San Antonio police special operations commander, said that the five suspects were under investigation in connection with a smuggling operation involving Chinese nationals.
Federal agents and San Antonio police surrounded the plane after it landed.
Federal authorities said that those aboard the craft appeared to be Chinese.
