"the bunker"
i mention this after reading chad`s thread on ahmadinnerjacket`s ominous proclamation that the west "will get their answer" on his nuke program on august 22nd( )....and the fact that the 5 year anniversary of 9/11 follows immediately after......and realizing that symbolism plays a huge part in the islamic mindset....

a little disconcerting...

WASHINGTON (CNN) — "Immigration agents and the FBI are looking for 11 Egyptian students who entered the United States on valid student visas, then failed to show up at a university in Montana, authorities said.

The FBI on Saturday issued a nationwide alert to law enforcement agencies. Included were the students’ names, ages, passport numbers and photographs.

“At the present time there are no known associations to any terrorist groups. Approach with caution,” the lookout bulletin states. (Watch Homeland Security work on the mystery — 2:22)

FBI and immigration officials confirmed there’s no evidence pointing to criminal activity or a terrorist threat. However, The Associated Press quoted a law enforcement official as saying that the students could be sent home when found because they violated the terms of their visas.

They were part of an all-male group of 17 students that landed July 29 at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Six of them arrived later at Montana State University as part of an exchange program; the other 11 did not, prompting school officials to contact the government.".....

The students were identified as:

El Sayed Ahmed Elsayed Ibrahim, 20
• Eslam Ibrahim Mohamed El Dessouki, 21
• Alaa Abd El Fattah Ali El Bahnasawi, 20
• Mohamed Ragab Mohamed Abd Alla, 22
• Ahmed Refaat Saad El Moghazi El Laket, 19
• Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed Abou El Ela, 21
• Mohamed Ibrahim Elsayed El Moghazy, 20
• Ebrahim Mabrouk Moustafa Abdou, 22
• Moustafa Wagdy Moustafa El Gafary, 18
• Mohamed Saleh Ahmed Maray, 20
• Mohamed Ibrahim Fouaad El Shenawy, 17


as i said before,good for mtsu for reporting their "absenteeism"....

this is utter stupidity....after 9/11....bush,congress the whole damned lot of `em....the state dept still doesn`t get it...

i`m sure,that when found...with the help of the aclu or c.a.i.r.....they`ll be suing for invasion of privacy.....

i hope that they just got scared off realizing they were going to bozeman, when their tour guide took them to a western wear store.....

Three of them have been found.... eight still to go. Two were in Jersey and one in Minnesota. While there's not a ton of info out there on them right now, it certainly doesn't like a good situation (other than nabbing three of them so far, of course).

Three of the 11 Egyptian students who failed to show up at a Montana university last month were taken into custody Wednesday.

The FBI on Saturday issued a nationwide alert to law enforcement agencies. Included were the students' names, ages, passport numbers and photographs.

"At the present time there are no known associations to any terrorist groups. Approach with caution," the lookout bulletin said.

How could this happen, have we been elevated to Orange yet?

Didn't they do away with that stupid color thing? Whatever the case, i'm glad I no longer have to look at the same static 'terror level: elevated' message on the news channels at the bottom of the screen for 3 years straight.

You speak of symbolism, and I noted two things from this that could be construed as symbolic. 17 students come here - wasn't that the number of 9/11 terrorists (honestly can't remember today)? 11 were missing, as in the 11th day of September.

Probably nothing to it, but stranger things have had more meaning.
