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

Posted on 08/07/2006 7:47:26 PM PDT by Starman417

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 but *someone* had to sponsor them for their F-1 foreign student visas. I can't believe we're still granting those to people from ME! Un-freaking-believable.

So the U.S. government is allowing young men between 18 and 22 years old from Islamic countries to roam around the continental U.S. freely without supervision during a time of warfare and nuclear terror alerts while little old American caucasian ladies are practically being strip-searched at airports??? What's the name of the guy running "Homeland Security" again?

That's right. The feds have their pictures and fingerprints. Let's get the bastards on TV, post a reward, and they'll be done in short order.

From our own State Department:

"Students are advised of the Department of Homeland Security regulation which requires that all initial or beginning students enter the U.S. 30 days or less in advance of the course of study start/report date as shown on the Form I-20. Please consider this date carefully when making travel plans to the U.S."

Why were they allowed to come here? Why is anyone allowed to come here to live? Don't we have enough people?!

"Montana State University for a scheduled academic program."

They're probably in the U.S. to study Nuclear Engineering, along with other imported students.

Missing?

What do they mean "missing"?

My suspicion meter is pegged at "10".

How about an Amber Alert and a nation wide manhunt? Maybe they've been kidnapped?... or is something else going on?

There were 6 others with the 11 that are missing. The 6 arrived for class. All 17 were here for a monthlong program on English language instruction and U.S. history and culture.
