EGYPTIAN STUDENTSVANISH IN BIG APPLE
nypost.com ^ | August 8, 2006 -- | DAN MANGAN

Eleven Egyptian students who were supposed to travel to a Montana university after flying to JFK airport late last month disappeared in New York, spurring federal authorities to issue a nationwide alert, officials said yesterday.

The students - who were traveling with six classmates from Mansoura University in Egypt - had their student visas revoked for failing to show up at Montana State University in Bozeman, the officials said.

The other six students made it to the college.

"The FBI and ICE [Immigration and Custom Enforcement] would like to locate these 11 students in order to speak with them," said FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko after the "be-on-the-lookout" alert was issued to all police in the United States.

Kolko said there is no reason to believe the missing students, all men around 20 years old, represent a threat.

You're right...Putting the pictures out there make us concentrate on 11 people. That's "in the box". We have to look "out of the box"....Anyone who looks suspicious or suspicious activity should be reported.

Start with the easily identifiable targets chock full of the enemy. Low hanging fruit like Syria and Iran would be neat places to start IMO. Perhaps after a couple of good nukings like that (ok MOABings if you absolutely insist), we could be introduced to this 'moderate muslim majority' of which we keep hearing. Maybe civilization could be friends with those guys - dunno.

I'm still waiting for the peaceful muslims to leap out and shout that the 9/11 attacks were evil and that OBL is evil and that unprovoked attacks on Israel and the US (and others of course) are evil. We've been waiting since 2001.

After listening to my European friends I realize that they use the term 'student', to refer to a person's age more so than if they are enrolled in a school.

I really figured something was up with this place but I sometimes do need to be fitted with a tin foil hat

Oh, I think you have good cause to be suspicious.

And so do I, for other reasons I won't discuss in this open forum.

Start with the easily identifiable targets chock full of the enemy.

You originally talked of Islam being "eradicated down to every last man, woman and child." Are you suggesting that women and children are among "the enemy," or are you suggesting something different?

I'm going to pin you down on this -- are you advocating genocide? Or are you just being a Keyboard Kommando?

My Guess?

We know there are established hezbolla, Hamas, etc cells in the US, no doubt in NYC.

Exsisting cell has the materials, and need agents to pull off something, since the cell people here (leaders) dont want to go all boom-boom themselves.

Now the 11 are here.
Keep an eye out.

"Once again we are asleep at the wheel. I guess we ARE that stupid.Why the hell would we still allow student visas from the middle East is beyond me . Guess we have to get hit again to learn ."

IMO, no more stupid than giving a free ride to the U.S. for thousands and thousands of Lebanese "Americans", 80% of which it is reported, support Hezbollah.

I echo your post. There will be no "coming together" when the next attack happens. The Left storming the White House is a more realistic scenario. Some of them pray to their various gods for another attack. The rest want to "talk" to our enemy.
Yes, may God help us.

Have we learned nothing from September 11th?
No. It will take another one, it appears, before much of America, unbelievably, wakes up.


I doubt if even that will do it. Sept. 11th should have stirred this country to a Pearl Harbor-type fury.

It didn't, and I doubt another one will either.

Pin away. I'm advocating the elimination of islam - not a racial group - a religions / political group. As mentioned, if it turns out that moderate islam (i.e. a portion of islam that actually is peaceful and not xenophobic like what we have been seeing) exists, then of course civilization can coexist with that. I'm just not convinced from what we've seen that such an animal exists.

Oh - I failed to answer your whole question - sorry about that. Yes, I suggest that women and children are among the enemy. Do you suggest otherwise? Why the defense of islam?

Remember the latest "video" from Jezbollah TV or whatever, Al-Zero yammering away with the photo of the WTC collapsing in the background, and photos of Atta et al posted in martyr fashion...... My first impression of that was IT'S A SIGNAL. Something's coming down....

Why the defense of islam?

Well, when I see the word "eradicate" in the same sentence as "women and children," I find myself musing on others who classified women and children according to their religion, rather than as human beings.

You're rather close to the edge of a very steep cliff, and I want to understand precisely where you're coming from.

Foreign students are big $$$$$ to higher ed. 'Specially the MEs.... After 911 the visa process got tougher, but obviously not tough enough.
