You know the 11 missing Egyptian Muslim "students" who never showed up at Montana State University?
While some of them have been found, Safa Pizza--the Maryland pizza shop where two of them showed up as "employees"--should be a place of interest to federal counterterrorism investigators . . . if it isn't already.
Ditto for its owner, Egyptian Attia Gouda, who was harboring these missing aliens in his Baltimore area apartment. Why isn't ICE arresting him? And why won't the Baltimore Sun name his pizza shop in their article on the 2 students? Attention, reporters: It's Safa Pizza a/k/a Safa's Pizza.
Last October, when officials closed down the Baltimore Fort McHenry and Harbor Tunnels because of an alleged terror plot to blow it up, they arrested several men in connection with the alleged plot on immigration violations. Some of them had maps of the tunnels, etc. Guess where they arrested two of them? Safa Pizza. From a Baltimore Sun account:
Suied Mohamad-Ahamad, 25, and Mohamed Ahmed Mohamady Ismail, 30, both Egyptians, were taken into custody at Safa's Pizza on Merritt Avenue in Dundalk.
The men may have been working there (other Tunnel plot suspects were working at other Muslim-owned businesses). And now the missing Egyptian "students" were found working there. Here's more on the absurd story of 9/10 behavior by the Feds from the Baltimore Sun:
Federal agents arrested El Sayed Ahmed Elsayed Ibrahim, 20, and Alaa Abd El Fattah Ali El Bahnasawi, 20, in the Holabird Avenue apartment of a pizza shop owner from Egypt, Attia Gouda. Ibrahim and El Bahnasawi were being held in an undisclosed location, pending possible deportation proceedings, authorities said. . . .
According to Gouda's wife, Jennifer Evans, Ibrahim and El Bahnasawi apparently stayed with her husband for several days while she was on vacation this week. When she returned Wednesday, she said, her husband introduced them to her as friends from his native village of Mansoura, Egypt. . . .
"These guys would not hurt a fly," said Evans. "They're very shy. They respected me very much in the house."
BFD. Potential terrorists usually respect the stupid Infidel wife of the man who harbors them while they are here illegally doing who knows what.
At his pizza shop in Glen Burnie last evening, a visibly agitated Gouda expressed dismay at the attention that the Egyptians' failure to appear in Montana was stirring up. He worried that Americans jump to conclusions "too quickly."
Uh, too quickly? More like, not quickly enough.
Gouda described Ibrahim and El Bahnasawi as farmers who had gotten "lost" and overwhelmed in a foreign land. But it was their dream to come to America, he said. "They're good people."
The Dundalk arrest took place at the second floor apartment on the 7200 block of Holabird Ave., a brick rowhouse on a busy thoroughfare. A window on the first floor is smashed, but neighbors said the first-floor apartment is vacant and that the window had been broken for a while.
Before rushing out of the apartment yesterday afternoon on her way to work, Evans said the two students had been helping out at her husband's pizza shop but that she believed they had come to the country with the intention to study. When she asked one of the men why he had come to the United States, he replied in halting English, "I want to better my future," she said.
What a fricking fool this woman is.
Evans said she and her husband were not knowingly helping the students violate the terms of their visas. "We had no idea about any of this."
Uh-huh. And if you believe that, I have some land in the Baltimore Tunnel to sell you.
Since ICE Chieftess Julie L. Myers a/k/a "The ICE Princess" says she's serious about arresting workplace immigration offenders, why is she not arresting Attia Gouda and shutting down Safa Pizza? Is it just a little too un-PC for her to do such a thing to Muslims? Just asking.
Incredibly, ICE spokesman Dean Boyd doesn't think there's a problem at the mysterious Safa Pizza shop. He claims "we have no indication they pose any threat," regarding the students. Yet, they just so happened to show up at a pizza shop with strange ties to alleged terror plots. A shop whose owner employs and harbors illegal aliens on the lam. No threat. Ri-i-i-i-i-i-ight.
Next time you order extra cheese or sauce, make sure you're not ordering from a place that employs illegal alien Muslim "students" and has ties to tunnel-bombing plots.
Interesting. Debbie Schlussel bump!
What makes this all the more interesting, according to an item on Drudge, is that ICE doesn't consider these 11 students a "terrorism threat".
I'm with Debbie on this one - I have some laand in the Boston Tunnel to sell. Before they left Egypt, these 11 "students" should have understood the terms of their visa and that they were only being allowed here to study for a month at Montana State - NOT going traipsing across the countryside visiting "relatives" and taking jobs.
Something stinks - and it isn't pizza.

According to court documents, a five men in total have been arrested and linked to the potential terror threat in Baltimore last week.
To recap, Maaged Hussein, an Egyptian, was taken into custody last week after the search of his store, The Koko Market in East Baltimore.
Since then, others have also been taken into custody. 30 year old Mohamed Ahmed Mohamedy Ismail, from Egypt; Sued Mohamd-Ahmad, 25, of Egypt; and Ahmad Al-Mahmani, 58 of Jordan have all been taken in on immigration charges and are connected to this case. They are going to be deported.
More information is now available on the FBI's source. Dutch Immigration Authorities are verifying that they indeed are hiding the person who is speaking to the FBI in regards to this case. The man's name is not being released, however according to a spokesman for the Dutch National Prosecutor's Office, Wim De Brum, he is in custody as an illegal alien.

Federal Agents shut down the Harbor and Fort McHenry Tunnels as well as portions of I-95 today. One man was detained. All was sparked over legitimate concerns over a plot discovered by the Feds. The plot was to blow up one of the Baltimore tunnels.
The detained man is an Egyptian named Majed Hussein who ran a Middle East Grocery called The Koko Market located in Highlandtown, MD. His residence is in White Marsh, MD.
Federal officials will not expound, but have said thata specific threats were made against one of the the two bridges and that there are other suspects at large. All of the suspects are of Egyptian origin.
Authorities also disclosed that their informant is in a foreign country and left it at that.
Since the other suspects are at large, it was the Maryland Transportation Authority's idea to close the tunnels our of fear that those at large would retaliate and carry out the plan.
The plan of action was to take a delivery truck from The Koko Market filled with explosives, drive it into a tunnel, and detonate it.

This morning FNC showed a map of where all 11 students were found; they were all over the place.
Glad someone gave the students/pizza shop connection its own thread. This is important information.
Good heavens. Is nothing sacred anymore? First it's my baseball and apple pie, and now this.
I'm getting this strange urge to look up the info on Dominos and Pizza Hut.
They certainly were all over the country. I hadn't read about this pizza shack though.
Now tell me, why is this place still in business??
Sheese, for people that don't like pork they sure hang around places that have it around, lots of it.
The more and more I read about these 11, the more I wonder if they were too low on the terrorist radar and the feds were watching them all along? I am getting the strange feeling these were 'mules' of some sort. They were not here to commit a terrorist act per se, but brought/smuggled something into the country to be delivered.
The areas you are talking about are right down in the port/terminal area of Baltimore.
Probably just a coincidence.
Betcha $100 that it is not Seamus O'Brien.
A woman called Jennifer Evans writes regularly for the Egyptian publication, Weekly Al-Ahram (which also has an entire section of its website devoted to Yasser Arafat, as a matter of interest). I have no idea whether it’s the same person.
Whew, isn't that the truth! A vacation in Ireland could easily turn into a vacation in Madrid if you get on the wrong road. Very overwhelming! //s
This just proves that men won't ask for directions....lol!
. . . and after traversing the U.S. looking for a particular university, miraculously stumbled into a pizza shop owned by a long-lost buddy from Egypt.
Hmmm, the Pizza Hut delivery guy in Alexandria, off of 236 (Duke Street) is a muslim and he wanted to know if my cousin's condo (behind the Masonic Temple) was for sale.
Good pizza?
