Either these 11 Egyptian "students" are the biggest meatheads in their country, or they are terrorists.
"Either these 11 Egyptian "students" are the biggest meatheads in their country, or they are terrorists."
And even if they're terrorists, they're meatheads. If you don't show up at college, that triggers an alarm. If they had gone on to the college, nobody would have been looking for or at them.
My bet? They're meatheads, but not meathead terrorists.
I;'m thinking meatheads and terrorists.
Even considering my earlier post about them being a diversion for an attack elsewhere, I'm beginning to suspect they may actually be students who didn't believe the pre-travel briefings in Egypt about going straight to the school and who decided to divert to visit relatives/friends enroute...reporting deadlines and timeliness in general being relatively loose concepts in the Middle East and other parts of the world.
They will be lucky if all that happens is that they get fined and deported.
