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.

When I was a child, I remember going to the store with my mother one day.
There was a lady in front of the grocery store who had a box full of Doberman puppies. Cutest little pups I had ever seen, all milk-breathed and jumping up, wagging their little tails.
I wanted one! They were so cute! But my Mother firmly stated that I would not be bringing one of those puppies home.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because", Mother said, "Cute little puppies have a bad habit of growing up to be DOGS, that's why!"
That's what I was thinking too.

An FBI advisory says there are, at present, no known connections to any terrorist group but that the students are to be "approached with caution" and taken into custody. They "are here illegally and wanted for questioning," the advisory says.

Pictures would be helpful too.
Why would they be a threat? They are members of the religion of peace.
Find them and deport!
Keep your eyes open folks, Aug 22 is just around the corner.
Their children are being taught to hate us to the point of killing us. Our public schools are teaching our children to sing kumbaya. And so it will go.
Why couldn't their pictures be posted using the excuse that we are deeply concerned for the safety of these "missing" students from Egypt, and if anyone sees them, please report it to the proper authorities so that their worried families back home in Egypt will know where they are. I say we should be posting their pictures nationwide. What if they've been kidnapped? (sarc)
If we had a group of students from the U.S. go to another country to attend a university, and they all disappeared over there, it'd be national and international news. Heck, even Greta would be trying to find them.
If these missing "students" are not terrorists, then why isn't Egypt and their families demanding that we find them?
I used to wonder how the rest of the West could have just sat back and let WWII start. I can see it now. They were, like we are, to scared to admit what was going on. It is easier to be blind to evil, than to admit it exists. For if it exists, it must be dealt with, and by and large few people really want to do that.
At which point the cops will round up those who attacked TROP for hate crimes.
The enemy is within, and the government is to weak to do much.
BTTT!
Whatever...
They have to have a title that impresses the civilians, don'tcha know. Besides, "Random low-level field grunt indistinguishable from thousands of others" is hard to fit on a business card.
What's Aug 22 about?
PC kills.
All this wonderful warm feeling of trust and kindness toward people who espouse the ideology of death and destruction will get us killed.
Then the next comments will be...
"They all look alike..."
I too feel insulted...
The fact that it took more than a week to get this story out, to this volume of distribution...And that we are hearing the same ole "we have no reason to believe..." line...
The pictures, if any, are a moot point now...
It is now, really, only a question of when and where and with what...
We all did our best, and our worst to barr the door...I'm just surprised it took only 5 years to squeeze in through the cracks in the supposed "improvements" we made after 9-11...
Yawn...I'm going to go take a nap...Wake me if something happens...
