The men arrived in New York on July 29, and almost immediately disappeared. The FBI issued the nation-wide alert on the 5th of August.
IIRC, some of the 9/11 terrorists went to Vegas for a final fling. The FBI may want to start there.
CHeck Detroit....Are the Tigers playing at home?
Did these guys walk across the Mexican border or did they enter exactly as I predicted?

In other news, the US has announced new plans for assisting Egytian and Saudi students to attend college in the US. Each student will be given free air fare, a handgun, a rifle, 10 pounds of explosives of his choice, free tuition to the college of his (no females allowed) choice, and free use of a car if his grades are above 'F'. A careful screening system will be used to exclude terrorists. A secret trick question ("Are you a terrorist?"( will be used. Only students answering "no" will be allowed to participate. If they say "yes", they can partially participate, but they will not receive the guns and explosives. Government officials are sure this screeing system will be sufficient.
wow, these guys are all my age. I used to see DOB's of 10+ years before my own, but seeing all those "1985s" is a real eye-opener, in a way, of the work my generation has cut out for itself.
We didn't see the writing on the wall at the time and neither did the nation.
Let's have the pictures on the television tonight!
Why this "approach with caution"?
and
Why this "specific concern" they're on the Eastern seaboard?
Why "caution" and "concern" if they're no threat?
I don't know if this is out there but all these guys are from Mansoura University in Egypt.
Here is an article from MSU looking for housing for them.
Home-stay families needed for Egyptian students
June 13, 2006 -- from MSU News Service
Bozeman - Home-stay families in the Bozeman area are needed July 30-Aug. 26 for a group of male students from Mansoura University of Egypt attending an educational program on the campus of Montana State University.
Host families will receive $15 per night per student. In return, students will need a private, quiet place to sleep, most meals, use of basic household facilities and some transportation.
"Hosting a student can provide you with insights on a culture different from your own, a refreshing curiosity about American culture, and a life-long friendship," said Janelle Rasmussen, a program coordinator at MSU's Office of International Programs.
Rasmussen said families who cannot provide a four-week commitment, but interested in providing a home for one, two, or three weeks may also apply. For more information or to apply, call Rasmussen at 994-7602 or e-mail her at jrasmussen@montana.edu.
Be on the lookout for groups of young men with black hair, brown eyes, swarthy complexions and possibly wearing tablecloths on their heads. To find out if they are the ones we are after, shout "DEATH TO ALLAH" in their immediate vicinity and, if they come over to chop off your head, report them immediately to the FBI.
6 out of the 11 have the name Muhamad.
I fear that political correctness will kill again.
Correct me if I'm wrong...but as a Jew with an ISraeli stamp on my passport, I don't believe I'm allowed in Egypt...true? And if that's true...why in God's name would we allow them in our Country?
There is one clear advantage we have in rooting out Islamic terrorists - you can usually narrow them down to Middle Eastern racial types.
Thanks to the Left, we're doing without that advantage for now. It could prove fatal, but I suppose that's the idea.
Drop the PC crap and handle this the right way, please!
Between the 11 of them the name Mohamed shows up 8 times.
Oh .. now they want to enforce immigration laws
Of course, immigration policy and the war on terror are two completely unrelated subjects. Not all Muslims are terrorists. Islam is a religion of peace. So we don't have a thing to worry about. The FBI must be overreacting. /sarcasm
