The case of the eleven missing Egyptian "students" has resulted in all of them in custody. The problem is they were rounded up from all over the country.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Mohamed Saleh Ahmed Maray, 20, and Mohamed Ibrahim Fouaad El Shenawy, 17, at an apartment building in Richmond on Sunday night. Virginia State Police and the Richmond Police helped locate the students.
Last Wednesday, one of the Egyptian students was arrested in Minneapolis and two were detained in Manville, N.J. On Thursday, two were arrested in Dundalk, Md., and one was arrested at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. Three more were arrested Friday in Des Moines, Iowa.
Something about this whole situation smells. Federal authorities have stressed that there was no apparent link to terrorism, but they also appear to have pulled out all the stops to get these guys. They were all supposed to heading to school in Montana and instead are arrested all over the country. In a lot of unusual places not known as tourism hot spots. At the same time there are five men in custody in two incidents for having thousands of cell phones.
Odd isn’t it that all these guys would head for the four winds once the hit CONUS? Also, kinda strange that they were rounded up so quickly. I suspect they were up to no good. Perhaps a plot somewhere down the road a piece…..
Hmmm….can you say, Couriers and Messengers, boys and girls?
