In the bottom-of-the-hour news during Rush, WMAL reported that one of the 11 missing Egyptian students was found in Montana and is now being questioned by the FBI.

After they get whatever information they can out of him, he should be on the next flight for Gitmo!

GOOD catch! Thanks, Chena!

Your welcome, onyx. I should e-mail Fox and tell them that I had to break down and go to the CNN website in order to find up-to-date information.

Here's another excerpt from CNN website: "We have run their names through the wringer," a Department of Homeland Security official said.

U.S. authorities are working with foreign intelligence agencies to make sure there is nothing suspicious in the students' backgrounds, federal sources said. Those sources added that 20 students applied for student visas to go to Montana State, but three applicants were denied.

"We do want to talk to them. But at this point there's no reason to believe they pose any criminal or terrorist threat," said Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Julie Myers, who heads Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

Of course it is, but it's not that obvious to a guy from Egypt looking at directions.

Ever try reding Arabic street signs?

I had just flipped to CNNHeadline News (breaking my rule about never allowing CNN to rear its ugly head on my t.v.), and caught this update.

"There has been a new development in the case of 11 Egyptian students who never arrived for their exchange program at Montana State University last month. A federal law enforcement official tells CNN that three of the students have now been taken into custody. One was arrested today in Minnesota, and the other two are said to be in New Jersey. A law enforcement source says the two turned themselves in. Federal authorities are asking police agencies nationwide to help find them and, a, and find the other students, rather. They are from Cairo University and were supposed to take part in a 32 day exchange program."

Thanks again, Chena. I think we ought to tell FNC that we're getting our info from the dreaded CNN.

[EnquiringMind]

Thank you Chena.

Ever try reding Arabic street signs?

No I have not tried "reding" Arabic street signs. Is it painful?

However, I doubt they would be using US Postal abbreviations in trying to get directions.

You're welcome. Also, in case you haven't seen it yet, there's another thread on this topic with more current info being posted. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1680637/posts?q=1&&page=1

Hey, it's obvious what has happened here. They arrived in New York City, wandered all over town looking for Montana, and then they couldn't find a cab driver who spoke english.

When you real, baccy-spittin' cowboys come into town, keep in mind that the nice-smelling disc in the urinal is not candy.....

Once again, the people who don't read FR happened to comment on my posted comments, lol:

" ... There was no indication what El-Dessouki was doing in Minnesota, but he was not visiting relatives, the official said. ..."

They're looking at their plane tickets.

Now, about MNT, MN, etc. I find MNT for MONTSERRAT AIRWAYS, AMN Alma, MI [Gratiot Community Airport], USA. MMN Stow, MA [Minute Man Air Field], USA. MNA Melangguane, Indonesia. MNB Moanda, Zaire. MNC Nacala, Mozambique. MND Medina, CA, USA. MNE Mungeranie, South Australia, Australia. MNF Mana, Fiji. MNG Maningrida, Northern Territory, Australia. MNH Minneriya, Sri Lanka. MNI Montserrat (Plymouth) [Blackburne], Montserrat. MNJ Mananjary, Madagascar. MNK Maiana, Kiribati. MNL Manila [Ninoy Aquino International Airport], Philippines. MNM Menominee, MI [Menominee-Marinette Twin County Airport] USA.. MNN Marion, OH [Marion Municipal Airport], USA. MNO Manono, Zaire., MNP Maron, Papua New Guinea MNQ Monto, Queensland, Australia, MNR Mongu, Zambia, MNS Mansa, Zambia, MNT Minto, AK [Minto Airport], USA, MNU Maulmyine (Moulmein), Myanmar, MNV Mountain Valley, Australia, MNW MacDonald Downs, Australia, MNX Manicore, AM, Brazil, MNY Mono, Solomon Islands, MNZ Manassas, VA [Manassas Regional Airport/Harry P. Davis Field], USA,

Most of that explains pretty much why Minneapolis chose "MSP".

I guess it is a miracle they didn't wind up in Zaire then.

[muawiyah]

Truly.

Remember, everything that seems mysterious and evil is frequently little more than stupidity and ignorance.
