Two Saudi men were arrested Friday after they boarded a school bus and rode to Wharton High School in New Tampa.
Students on the bus became alarmed, as did the bus driver, who called ahead. Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies met the bus at the school and detained the men. No one was injured and nothing out of line occurred on the bus, deputies said.
Mana Saleh Almanajam, 23, who lives in Apt. 302 in The Point apartments, and Shaker Mohsen Alsidran, 20 Monticello Gardens, Apt. 304-A, each were charged with trespassing on school property. Both remained in Orient Road Jail on Friday evening. Bail for each was set at $250.
"Both defendants gave several versions of the reason they took a school bus to a high school," said Hillsborough County sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway.
"They said they wanted to go to Wharton to look around, and then they said they wanted to go there to have some fun, and then they said they wanted to enroll in the English classes there," Callaway said.
"We're not sure if this was a situation of them just being new to this country, or if they were confused or what it was," Callaway said. "We were unsure as to exactly what the final reason was, but it did cause great concern for the students on the bus and for us. One of the guys was wearing shorts with a black trench coat."
While on the bus, the men laughed and spoke in Arabic, Callaway said.

As long as they worship the black rock of death aka islame, there WILL be murder!
I've been better, I've been worse. I'm okay. ;-D
I think this is a delibrate act to show our government how easy it will be to kill large numbers of American children. I might be watching too many movies, but this could be a message from terrorists or Iran on what will happen if our government takes certain actions.
Guy on the right is psychotic
Like to know which border they came through
Hope so but doubt it. After all, they have 6 month student visas, but don't appear to be enrolled in anything but an English class.
They probably are looking to learn to fly a 747 but not to take off or land.
Whoever's in charge of immigration (is anyone?) needs to get these guys out of here summarily.
Me too.
The terrorists, mostly Saudis, made dry runs before 9/11. Now dry running school buses?
Man! I woulda slammed the door shut on them!
They're plotting Beslan Part 2.
I don't know.

"2 Saudi Men Arrested After Boarding School Bus in Florida"
Sunday, May 21, 2006
TAMPA, Florida —
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A friend tried to bail Almanajam and Alsidran out of jail, but Circuit Judge Monica Sierra decided to detain the pair. She scheduled a Tuesday hearing and asked that an Arabic interpreter be present.
Ahmed Bedier, director of the Central Florida Council on American-Islamic Relations, said it sounded like a cultural mix-up.
"The only reason (this happened) is because of who they are, and that's wrong," he said."
Thanks JP.
