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."

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."
