The Britons rescued from a waterlogged cavern in Mexico could be trapped in the country until after the weekend as police investigate claims they were looking for radioactive materials.

The six men, along with seven others which made up the caving team, have been detained by Mexican authorities over possible visa breaches since they were helped from the caves near Cuetzalan yesterday.

The radioactive materials charge appears to be bogus also, it appears they didn't have the right gear for such nor do the caves they where exploring appear to contain any.

No telling when the caving team will get to go home though because it does appear that they can be held on at least one minor VISA charge, they didn't have the right permits for mapping the cave.

Really have to wonder what sort of thinking is going on behind the scenes here. Is the Mexican government so angry at England that they are just harrasing these guys? Or is there actually some question as to what they where doing? Or are the Mexican's just being paranoid about finding a military team in the country they didn't know about?

New Finding a military team in your country
that you don't know about is going to be some matter for concern for any country, I'd think.

New Agreed
If I was in change I'd want to know why.

The tourist line of reasoning is just too cute. I don't believe them.
New U claims dropped, but MoD seems to have muddied the waters
Yesterday, ITV reported the men were on a training exercise. If that is indeed correct, then they're not out of it yet. I'm pretty sure that isn't covered by your average tourist visa. That bit apparently came from the British MoD:

But today, the British embassy in Mexico claims they were mapping the caves

Well, the place was crowded. We were packed in like sardines. They were all there to listen to the Big Band sounds of Tommy Dorsal. What sole! Tommy was rocking the place with a very popular tuna: "Sal-mon Chanted Evening," and the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers; probably there to see the bass player.
