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.

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:

Yea, yea, yea, is that all you care about finding an earlier post? I did a several searches before posting and found nothing . What can I tell you. I guess there has to be a "previous post" warden in every thread. Maybe some of the people didn't see the original anyway. Lighten up.
Nothing to see here, move on!
"The 6 arrived for class. All 17 were here for a monthlong program on English language instruction and U.S. history "

""FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko said there is no threat associated with the men.""

" Uh, (chuckle) right, man"
These potential terrorists shouldn't have been allowed entry in the first place.
WHY are we ever LETTING young men from Egypt into this country? We just don't learn, do we? Must be PC even if it sets up the bowling pins all over again.
