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?
