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.
CHeck Detroit....Are the Tigers playing at home?
Nah, Missouri....to get another, newer, satellite phone for Osama....
Media silence is rather deafening, isn't it?
I checked the FBI page, and found no mention of the missing eleven. Amazing.
According to a friend of ours, black labs do that. ;)
Well, if you see an Egyptian, cautiously approach him and ask him if his name is Mohammad. I'm not sure what happens after that.
Did these guys walk across the Mexican border or did they enter exactly as I predicted?
If you'll excuse the bad language, click here for an explanation of what FBI stands for. Second quote from the top :)
FYI
Nothing on Homeland Security page either.
LOL
That's not the only place they might want to scour...
I was, oh crap, I haven't gradiated yet! I better go finish or something.
It would probably be pretty easy to see when flights from Egypt land at JFK (assuming there wasn't a connecting flight in London) and then checking on when scheduled flights leave JFK for Montana. How much time was there to proceed through customs? I have a feeling there was plenty of time to make that flight. I also have a feeling that our 5 tardy "students" were helping their buddies, and that is why they "missed" their flight.
Amazing and downright disturbing. One has to wonder why the FBI isn't using their website as a way to spread the word. And yes, the media silence is deafening. hmmmmmmm Maybe Fox News is saving this tidbit of information for when they can't think of another reason for a News Alert.
Show him a cartoon of Mohammad to see how he reacts. If he shrugs, he's ok.
Bummer! I guess you just now realized you're 20 years older than you thought you were 15 minutes ago. :-)
Not trying to pile on!!!!
Correct. I looked there too.
