WASHINGTON -- U.S. authorities are searching for 11 Egyptian men who arrived in the United States last month but failed to turn up at Montana State University for a scheduled academic program.
According to the FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, the men were among a larger group of students who arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York from Cairo on July 29 with valid visas.
FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko said there is no threat associated with the men.
A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the men are between 18 and 22 years old.
The official said the government probably will seek to send the students home once located because they have violated the terms of their visas.
University officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
If something happens because of these men, I'm on the impeachment bandwagon.
Shades of..
have they checked the flight schools? maybe disneyland and disneyworld.
Nothing about this at FBI.gov.
Perhaps they're heading to Seattle.
Childish reaction ... true to your tag?
I'm onwy fwee and a half years old.
I wonder if they are here for any of the Muslim Youth Camps?

Young Muslims’ Secret Camp-The Young Muslims are hiding the location of their August 2nd youth camp
Why is this being reported on an El Paso, Texas, TV station?
Were they coming to Texas, you think?
Keep your powder dry.
The university should answer for inviting them in the first place.
They left out, "No evidence that they are planning terrorism".

Interesting info ping
have the checked the strip joints
I'd say it's encouraging that the government is actually paying attention to the whereabouts of Egyptian "students".
Oh Great!
They probably got run over by illegals.
Oh but *someone* had to sponsor them for their F-1 foreign student visas. I can't believe we're still granting those to people from ME! Un-freaking-believable.
So the U.S. government is allowing young men between 18 and 22 years old from Islamic countries to roam around the continental U.S. freely without supervision during a time of warfare and nuclear terror alerts while little old American caucasian ladies are practically being strip-searched at airports??? What's the name of the guy running "Homeland Security" again?
That's right. The feds have their pictures and fingerprints. Let's get the bastards on TV, post a reward, and they'll be done in short order.
From our own State Department:
"Students are advised of the Department of Homeland Security regulation which requires that all initial or beginning students enter the U.S. 30 days or less in advance of the course of study start/report date as shown on the Form I-20. Please consider this date carefully when making travel plans to the U.S."
Exactly so! Why don't we just pin a sign on our backs stating "kick me".
A hook line and sinker reaction...you should change your tag
Why were they allowed to come here? Why is anyone allowed to come here to live? Don't we have enough people?!
What do they mean "missing"?
My suspicion meter is pegged at "10".
How about an Amber Alert and a nation wide manhunt? Maybe they've been kidnapped?... or is something else going on?
Well why aren't their pictures posted?
Oh wow...
I'm going to Disney World
"What's the name of the guy running "Homeland Security" again?"
Chertoff.
Wanna laugh?
Google "Chertoff world trade center bombings".
Thank you Oorang for the ping.
Updates appreciated.

Somehow you'd think Mo, Larry, and Culry running "Homeland Security" might even be able to figure this out.
i will not stand by and let you slander the good names of mo curly and larry like that.how about using reid,kennedy and pelosi ? thank you.LOL
I'm with you.
Well with such firm and strict handling we can be sure terrorists will soon be stopped in their tracks. Fill out a form, oh the humanity!! This is worse then Gitmo. Even better they could require people from Arab nations who apply for visas to fill out an assortment of IRS paperwork, and go to DMV to obtain a valid driver's license. That will have them screaming for mercy and confessing any ill intent.
Check your milk cartons. Other places to look for the missing:
Taxi Cabs,
7/11's
Hotel clerks
1-800- number helplines for credit cards, computers, banks and any so called service provider.
Revivals of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat
Low budget film versions of the Mummy, Cleopatra
The 10 Commandments, and Aida.
Camel races
That should narrow down the " where do we find them list".
Interesting article from Montana State University's website regarding their ME students, a State Department-sponsored program:
