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.

arrested in Baltimore terror probe
BALTIMORE (AP) — A fifth man has been arrested during an investigation into a possible terrorism threat to a highway tunnel this week, according to court documents.
Maged Hussein, who owns an eastern Boston market that was raided by federal authorities on Tuesday, was taken in to custody on a handgun charge, the documents showed.
Four other men were detained Tuesday on immigration charges and will be deported, according to Mark Bastan, acting special agent in charge at Immigration and Customs Enforcement here.
One of those men, 30-year-old Mohamed Ahmed Mohamady Ismail, came up in a tip about the purported tunnel plot from a source who is in custody in the Netherlands, Bastan said. The tipster said several men would drive vehicles filled with explosives through a Baltimore-area tunnel.
The other three men picked up at the same time as Ismail were identified as Mohamed Mohamed-Abdelhamed, 38, Suied Mohamad-Ahamad, 25, and Ahmad Al Momani, 58. Al Momani is from Jordan, and the others are from Egypt, Bastan said.
Each had failed to show up for separate deportation proceedings, Bastan said. "Technically, they were fugitives," he said. "Their deportations are just being acted on."
Wake me up when there is a more reliable source than Debbie Schlussel.
Probably you should go back to the Daily Kos where you can find information that is truly believable.....at least from your point of veiw.

Hmmm...this is getting stranger...Debbie's article states the shop is in Glen Burnie...this article says it's Dundalk. Looking up the place in All Pages...it lists THREE SAFA Pizzas...
Safa Pizza 2111 Merritt Avenue Dundalk, MD (Maryland) 21222-4641 Phone: (410) 285-6720
Safa Pizza 9 Vernon Avenue Glen Burnie, MD (Maryland) 21061-2305 Phone: (410) 787-2290
Business Types: Pizza Restaurant 1 Of 2, Pizza Restaurant 2 Of 2 Safa Pizza 437 Eastern Boulevard Essex, MD (Maryland) 21221-6715 Phone: (410) 682-3806
They must be related...I can't imagine that Maryland business licensing would allow three business to have the same name, that were NOT related. That makes the owners living situation even more suspect...
The tipster alleged that at least six Egyptians living in the Baltimore area were plotting to drive a bomb-laden vehicle into one of the tunnels and detonate the explosives. The explosives were to have been smuggled into port aboard a ship, according to the informant. Agents searched a Southeast Baltimore market and at least three pizza restaurants and detained four Middle Eastern men on immigration violations.
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.
Although, the article does say it may have been a hoax.
OMG!! They just STUMBLED into a SAFE house for Terrorists on their way to school??? Jennifer Evans is a dolt and her husband is a criminal and the two guys are terrorists....there, I've said it.
They are PIGS and they live like PIGS.
This site thinks that maybe the meat is not always Halal, but at least the pizza is made by a Moslem ~ SEE: http://mobile.zabihah.com/details_sub.php?rest_id=1367
For a long time they were selling a super-giant large (about 18 inches wide) for $5.00. More recently it's been going for $7.50 if you pick it up yourself. They've been affiliated with Pizza Bola on and off.
This Safa's sounds like it might slip in "real" pepperoni ~
How do these killer-wanna-bes get deported?? Do they fly on commercial jets with other passengers??? Do they have a govt. flight with a bunch of them and some guards?? HOW do yoy DEPORT someone who wants to do a suicide killing anyway?? VERY dangerous.
Since Baltimore housing prices are pretty near Washington DC suburban housing prices (median $550,000 sfd), I'd suspect the nasty stuff you're looking at with water access can be purchased for about $250,000 per quarter acre lot (with or without a nasty old house).
All the Safa pizza joints are independently owned but they get their meat from Safa, the meat packer/distributor. He claims he's halal.
This isn't a report on the Richmond 'students,' but on a couple of others in the group.
Pinz
Can you actually get pepperoni pizza at a Muslim owned pizzeria?
I know in Palm Beach County, Florida Albanians own a lot of the pizzerias
So Safa is a chain? The legal name of the business must be different than what they advertise...I wouldnt' say that Baltimore prices are close to Wash house prices. DC prices are about double, in the city. I just found it weird that someone who owns a pizza shop in Glen burnie is living in a second floor apartment in Dundalk on Holabird Ave( no water view just asphalt)...those two areas are very price similar. Plus you're paying a toll over the bridge or through the tunnel each way.
Zabihah does not list any of the Safa pizza places as known or halal...although I have to say the Egyptian pizza place on Belveder sounds delicious.
Here's a question?
What happened to "connect the dots". Why isn't Homeland Security, CIA and ICE all passing their info, collected in every single operation into and through the same database and filters.
There is no way someone with half a brain cannot make a few, reasonble suspicious concerns just from what little is known on this incident, in this thread alone, yet ICE would appear to be deaf, dumb and blind in the WOT.
And, since we have a White House that (1) ignores the war that the media is conducting, and (2) has little concern for what are the details of any situation, it is blind to any WOT questions the bureacracy is not coming up with.
Thanks for the ping
If anyone thinks the terrorists are not here ... there will be a rude wake up call for them
