Judge Revokes Bail For Saudi Bus Riders

May 21, 2006

TAMPA - A judge revoked bail for two Saudi men arrested Friday for boarding a school bus and riding to Wharton High.

Initially, Mana Saleh Almanajam, 23, and Shaker Mohsen Alsidran, 20, were held in Orient Road Jail on bails of $250 each on misdemeanor trespassing charges. Circuit Judge Monica Sierra decided to hold them at a court appearance Saturday so investigators could dig deeper into their pasts.

A friend of the two University of South Florida students tried to post their bail Friday night, said Ahmed Bedier, Tampa director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, but a jail clerk told the friend that they couldn't be released because they were under an immigration hold until a hearing Saturday morning.

At the hearing, Sierra agreed with a prosecutor that she needed to know more about them before she could feel comfortable releasing them.

Thanks for the update STARWISE. I hope they investigate back until the day before these two were born.

They've been here for 6 months and have not learned the English word for SCHOOL (AS IN BUS) and they supposedly are going to a SCHOOL????? I don't buy it.

Contact the judge Monica Sierra and tell her that the blood of innocents will be on her hands if she releases these Saudis.
