One of 11 missing Egyptian students has been picked up in Minneapolis, Minn., NBC News’ Pete Williams reported and the FBI confirmed Wednesday.

Local police in New Jersey also believe they have apprehended two more of the Egyptian students. Federal agents, however, have not yet confirmed the identities of these students.

Eslam Ibrahim Mohamed El-Dessouki, 21, was arrested "without incident" by FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko said.

El-Dessouki is being held on an administrative immigration violation because he did not turn up for his monthlong exchange program at Montana State University, Kolko said.

3 down. All nabbed in suspected jihaddi strongholds.

They should pick up whoever they are associating with as well. Of course the ACLU and the entire democrat party won't have that.

[Arm_Bears]

This is not going to look good on their transcripts.

[sinanju]

They haven't given much in the way of details as to what the little scamps were up to but so far it doesn't look to encouraging. Best to make an example of them.

[OldFriend]

Ah hah, I thought I saw a couple of these egyptians at the Division of Motor Vehicles this morning! LOLOL

[dynamite98]

Has anyone called the ACLU yet? It was only a "small" rule that was broken = they weren't doing anything wrong.

I wonder what the reason for dispersment was. I bet one wanted to visit the "Mall of America" and two others heard that Jersey was a beautiful place to vistit, afterall it is the "Garden State."

[Teflonic]

The fact that they have split up into different states is enough additional evidence to me to think that these guys really are terrorists.

[The Blitherer]

Hmmm...no mention of the "M" word anywhere in the article. I'm sure the group of them are made up of a diverse religious background. Some of them are probably Christians, some of them Buddhists, maybe an atheist or two...

The missing students pose no terrorism threat, Kolko said.

This shows how stupid and naive our civil service workforce has become, since hiring has become based on quotas and political correctness.

[AmeriBrit]

Bookmarked for later

[Happy Valley Dude]

This is not going to look good on their transcripts.

The Dean should put them on Double Secrect Probation.

"....and two others heard that Jersey was a beautiful place to vistit..."

Didn't Mcgreavy have a thing for mid-eastern boys?

[tdewey10]

Or near targets.

New York (NJ)
Chicago (Minn)

I'd say they're going for the Sears Tower and either the Tunnels or Subway/Path.

[mewzilla]

Speaking of the DMV...

Feds say thousands may have lied to get Michigan licenses

[Ainast]

Idk, somehow I think these guys are terrorist wannabee's. They don't seem to be all that smart or good at hiding themselves.

We should still hang them though because they are wannabee's

[Peach]

Ping for more information.

We're getting a storm here so I'm turning the computer off for a while.

[Jim Noble]

El-Dessouki is being held on an administrative immigration violation

If he's not in Gitmo by tonight, we're not playing for real.

[dynamite98]

"This is not going to look good on their transcripts."

Actually, the ACLU contends that the FBI and ICE agents are at fault. I wonder if the ACLU would take up a case to get an absentee failure removed from a transcript...wouldn't be suprising.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

Two picked up in NJ..

Why would they have left NYC to go to NJ if they were just "out on the town to have fun"?

I wonder if they were found in Newark NJ... hmmm

[Izzy Dunne]

You think it'll go on their PERMANENT RECORDS?
