6 of 11 Egyptian students now in custody

21 minutes ago

Six of the 11 Egyptian exchange students who failed to show up for their college program are now in custody after three additional students were arrested Thursday, the FBI said.

El Sayed Ahmed Elsayed Ibrahim, 20, and Alaa Abd El Fattah Ali El Bahnasawi, 20, were arrested at a residence in Dundalk, Md., outside Baltimore, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Chicago police detained Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed Abou El Ela, 22, at OHare International Airport as he was attempting to book a flight to Montana, the FBI said. Immigration agents later took El Ela into custody.

All are being held on administrative immigration violations because they did not report on time to their monthlong program at Montana State University in Bozeman, Mont.

None of the students is considered a terrorism risk

Here's a little tidbit from WRVA in Richmond.
(http://www.wrva.com/pages/localnews.html)

Just one more piece of the puzzle.

THURSDAY AUGUST 10, 2006

A Jetblue Airways plane headed to Richmond from Boston returned to the gate at Logan Airport when two passengers refused to comply with flight crew instructions. The men were turned over the the Massachusetts State Police for questioning and the plane left about forty minutes behind schedule. Massachusetts State Police are referring questions to the airport and the airport's not answering its phone.

Oh, OK. That's "sleazy." Thanks for the further nuanced clarification!

Then can say whatever, but in these days if you are looking at terror, most all profiles should be headed with the word Muslim.

Maybe the Egyptians want to try the crabcakes at Phillips.

Phillips is overrated....IMHO.

It's still better than what passes for seafood where I live, tho.

That's why I would have sent those Egyptian kids up to the Lexington Market. Only the intrepid tourists brave their way up there.

The best crabcakes come out of my cast iron skillet (my wife uses the skillet too, but mine bite back).

There are very, very few chain restaurants that are worth anything (Ruths Chris a notable exception).

I had an eerie feeling looking at the faces of these guys. All are clean shaven middle eastern young men in Western style clothes. As were the 9/11 conspirators. Coincidence, paranoia or a clue to something more?

September 15th or so. That's when the renovations are supposed to be done. Of course, with the world ending on 8/22, I'm not sure what to do.

I'm always suspicious when they don't release identifying information. Muslims perhaps?

Only 1/3 of the world is ending on 8/22 (what is it with double numbers).

Still, probably a good day to visit those country relatives of yours that you haven't seen in a while.

I still think they're somehow connected with the bigger plot. Maybe they cut loose from the other "students" to draw attention away from the big one going down. Maybe their assignment was yet to be carried out.

Or they'd already completed their assignments -- as suggested by others on FR -- much better to hand out assignments in-person than over a potentially tapped phone (big thank you to the NYT /sarc )

There's definitely something in the works. We've heard all along that terrorist wanted to do something much bigger and broader than 9-11.

Did you hear that UK intel kept the bombing plan from the CIA for fear of leakage?

Who could blame them? The story would have been in the New York times within hours.

Eleven "students" come to the US, and upon arriving in airport in NYC, they split up and spread out to cities across the country... NJ (near NYC), Dundalk (near B'mo harbor and I95 tunnels), Minneapolis (Mall of America), ... I'm losing track.

No, these guys aren't anything but tourists. We're being paranoid. /sarc

They wouldn't like it if I was in charge of national security, airport security, port security. I'd be harsher than Ann Coulter.

My question is, why the hell are we allowing these people in our country in the first place?

I guess we haven't learned our lesson yet.

If they had been anything other than Muslim, I'm sure we would know. Therefore, I believe they were Muslim.

I flew Jet Blue from Boston to Richmond two weeks ago. If they had been on my plane....

The whole premise is crazy...Someone has spent thousands of dollars on airlines/lodging so these muzlims could attend a 1 month course at a college in Montana to learn better English...

What are they going to learn in a month??? Wouldn't they be better off at a grade school level???, if it's true???
