Easier to find them if their names were disclosed. Why hide the names? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/07/national/main1873057.shtml Authorities looking for 11 Egyptian students in U.S. By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON Eleven Egyptian students who arrived in the United States last month are being sought by U.S. authorities after failing to turn up for a monthlong exchange program in the Western State of Montana.
The Egyptian men were among 17 students who arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York from Cairo on July 29 with valid visas, according to U.S. authorities and university officials. The other six have arrived at the Bozeman, Montana, campus of Montana State University for a monthlong program on U.S. history and culture and English language instruction, university spokeswoman Cathy Conover said. When the 11 had not turned up by the end of last week, the FBI issued a lookout to state and local law enforcers, FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko said. "At this point all they have done is not show up for a scheduled academic program," Kolko said. "There is no threat associated with these men." They are 18 to 22 years old, said a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the search for the men is continuing. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would not disclose their names. The government probably will seek to send the students home once located because they have violated terms of their visas, the official said. The government tightened the student visa process after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks when it learned that four of the hijackers had entered the country on foreign student visas. Montana State has tried repeatedly to contact the students, Conover said, including sending e-mails. When that failed, the school notified Homeland Security officials and registered the Egyptians as "no-shows" in the system developed after Sept. 11 to track foreign students, Conover said. They were participating in an exchange program Montana State arranged with Mansoura University in Mansoura, Egypt. "We hope this doesn't cast doubt on this program because we think it's important to have international students on our campus and in our community," Conover said. 060807 220658 Copyright 2006 Associated Press.
