Feds Hunt For 11 Egyptians Missing In U.S.
Fox TV - El Paso Tx ^ | 08/07/06 | AP

WASHINGTON -- U.S. authorities are searching for 11 Egyptian men who arrived in the United States last month but failed to turn up at Montana State University for a scheduled academic program.

According to the FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, the men were among a larger group of students who arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York from Cairo on July 29 with valid visas.

FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko said there is no threat associated with the men.

A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the men are between 18 and 22 years old.

The official said the government probably will seek to send the students home once located because they have violated the terms of their visas.

University officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Oh well that doesn't sound suspicious. NOT.

If something happens because of these men, I'm on the impeachment bandwagon.

The State Department's decision to refuse entry to some academics from Teheran the other day looks pretty good now.

Why is this being reported on an El Paso, Texas, TV station?

Were they coming to Texas, you think?

Keep your powder dry.

The university should answer for inviting them in the first place.

How ya' gonna' get 'em down on the farm (at Montana State) when they've

Or else these guys will turn up as party-animals at UCLA or Arizona State.

I'd say it's encouraging that the government is actually paying attention to the whereabouts of Egyptian "students".
