The last two of the 11 Egyptian exchange students who failed to show up at their college program were apprehended Sunday in Richmond, Va., customs officials said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Mohamed Saleh Ahmed Maray, 20, and Mohamed Ibrahim Fouaad El Shenawy, 17, at an apartment building in Richmond on Sunday night. Virginia State Police and the Richmond Police helped locate the students.

why weren't they were they were 'supposed to be?'
thanks for thinking of me Star!
Thanks for the info.
Here's where I think it gets weird: The first guy, found in Minneapolis, said they had just gone into the rest room at JFK and when they came back, their group was gone. (All 11 in the restroom? OK.) >>>So, they split up and went to various places - <<<<<
So all 17 of them are in the restroom. Eleven come out and find that six of them are gone (to Bozeman). ELEVEN foreign students are "lost" in the airport, and decide to SPLIT UP?????? If they could fly to Minneapolis, and Chicago, and Virginia, etc.. why in the H*ll couldn't they all stay together and fly to Bozeman? Their "decision" to split up, I believe, was made long before they got "lost". More like a PLAN, IMO.
Why do I want to feed 11 more mouths down there. Send them back to where they came from.
They were obviously told that once an
alien lands in the States, getting lost
is as easy as falling off a log.
God, I'm glad we have decent tracking
methods in the Pentagon!
The article concerning where in Richmond the two Egyptian run-aways were found. (Because they were not students).

I read they had rented an apartment. They were getting pretty comfortable, wouldn't you say?
I'm sorry, I misread some information - either that or I can't find the article again - about the rental. Apologies for posting.
