FBI: Approach Missing Egyptians with Caution (UPDATE: see post # 685)
ABCNews ^ | 08/08/06 | Brian Ross

The FBI has issued an urgent nationwide alert for 11 Egyptian students who entered the United States last week but failed to show up for their courses at Montana State University.

An FBI advisory says there are, at present, no known connections to any terrorist group but that the students are to be "approached with caution" and taken into custody. They "are here illegally and wanted for questioning," the advisory says.

The advisory comes just over a month before the five-year anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks on the United States.

"This is of very serious concern and is being closely tracked," said Rep. Peter King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.

The FBI says the Egyptians arrived at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York on July 29 and disappeared. The advisory says the alert is nationwide but that there is specific concern the Egyptians may be on the Eastern Seaboard.

According to the advisory the 11 missing Egyptians are:

1. Ibrahim, El Sayed Ahmed Elsayed; DOB OF 4/29/1986.

2. El Dessouki, Eslam Ibrahim Mohamed; DOB OF 02/21/1985.

3. El Bahnasawi, Alaa Abd El Fattah Ali; DOB OF 04/02/1986.

4. Abd Alla, Mohamed Ragab Mohamed; DOB OF 02/15/1984.

5. El Laket, Ahmed Refaat Saad El Moghazi; DOB OF 09/01/1986.

6. El Ela, Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed Abou; DOB OF 02/02/1985.

7. El Moghazy, Mohamed Ibrahim Elsayed; DOB OF 08/08/1986.

8. Abdou, Ebrahim Mabrouk Moustafa; DOB OF 02/25/1984.

9. El Gafary, Moustafa Wagdy Moustafa; DOB OF 07/01/1988.

10.Maray, Mohamed Saleh Ahmed; DOB OF 09/12/1985.

11.El Shenawy, Mohamed Ibrahim Fouaad; DOB OF 08/12/1988.

I'm praying that the pictures of these 11 "students" will be posted soon. I like the idea of John Walsh featuring them. LOL

Where's the ACLU? Shouldn't they be furious that the pictures of these missing students aren't being posted so that they can be found? If they are really are innocent "students" from a foreign country, wouldn't it be racially biased to not post their pictures because they are from Egypt? If it was 11 students from Norway, their pictures would be everywhere by now.

"Oh man. Most of these fellas were born after I graduated High School. I feel so old..."

I know how you feel. I think I have food in the freezer oder than that!

Something tells me we'll be reading these names again soon, hopefully when captured and expelled from the U.S.

Interesting question: The State Department issues visas, when they arrive, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP-the successor to INS and Customs) takes over. They can check the visa's through automated data-bases that tell them who they are supposed to be, where the visa was issued, but it is up to the CBP officer to verify the information, interview the suspect, ooops, I mean visitor, and determine that everything is "kosher" The quality of this process is critical. Unfortunately, the quality of CBP officers is not all that good. Many are legacy INS types whose orientation is to get people INTO the country. If they do just a perfunctory job, it's pretty easy for a suspect, ooops I mean visitor, to slip through.

Very interesting and real cause for concern, particularly how law enforcent approached the matter. These Egyptian "students" have been in the country over ten days so it is fair to think they are no longer in a group and that they have some contacts in the American population. This seems logical if the FBI has been looking for them. I hope they are only enjoying girlie bars but doubt it.

Well let's see if we can break down the numbers shall we?

Two Jihad Teams

Each team led by a 22 yr old Jihadist 'Leader'

Team 'A'

(2) 20 yr olds trained in munitions
(1) 21 yr old
(1) 19 yr old

Team 'B'

(2) 20 yr olds trained in munitions
(1) 21 yr old
(1) 18 yr old

(1) 17 yr old new recruit
(in case replacement needed on either team)


Yep, no cause for alarm, none at all.

In a pig's eye.

==The all seem to be between 18 and 22.

They're date of births all range from 1984 to 1988. That means they are all pushing forty.

I know. It's like " Thank you FBI for the names...look over there...I think it's El Moghazy, Mohamed Ibrahim Elsayed...nope that's just my neighbor Bill."

What the hell are people suppose to do with just the name of a suspect? Ask them if there are El Bahnasawi, Alaa Abd El Fattah Ali, and hope that they tell the truth?

Freaking useless government.

Due to the sick liberal obsession with diversity and multiculturalism the USA will continued to be flooded with people who want to kill us. Liberals are more worried about not offending the enemy than they are about the next 911.

Reads just like a list I saw on another thread today - the FEC's listing of Cynthia McKinney's donors.

That's it! They took a detour to work the precincts for "Jihadi" McKinney! Need an APB alert in Atlanta!!!

I love the warning from the FBI, "Approach Missing Egyptians with Caution" Yet they won't show us what they look like. I'm flying next month and for crying out loud I want to know if one of the guys is getting on the same plane. I sure can't rely on the Homeland Security people to do it for me.
