Abstract
In a vector-like extension of the minimal standard model with mirror f ermions leptoquarks can be bound states of fermion-mirror-fermion pair s held together by a new strong interaction at the TeV scale. The smal l couplings of leptoquarks to light fermion pairs arise due to mixing. The large Q(2) event excess at HERA and also the high E-T jet excess at Tevatron can potentially be explained.
