"Three Egyptian students in custody; 8 remain missing
Group of 11 didn't show up at school in Montana"

WASHINGTON (CNN) --
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Two were found in New Jersey, according to two law enforcement officials, one of whom said they turned themselves in to authorities. No further information was available.
Eslam Ibrahim Mohamed El-Dessouki, 21, was arrested without incident about 11 a.m. (noon ET) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, according to a statement from FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko.
"El-Dessouki was taken into custody on an administrative immigration violation as an out-of-status student," Kolko said.
El-Dessouki "was located through source information," a federal law enforcement official said.
There was no indication what El-Dessouki was doing in Minnesota, but he was not visiting relatives, the official said."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A source with knowledge of the investigation said the men, who range in age from 17 to 22, may be staying in New York, visiting relatives and trying to find jobs."
One or two of the missing egyptians turned themselves into the police in Manville.
Just my thought:
And if these students came in on Egypt Air, someone I use to talk to said that Egypt Air doesn't do security checks for people leaving Egypt. IOW, they could have been coming here to deliver something. Turning themselves in could just be an easy ticket home.
