clipped from: www.cnn.com U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and FBI investigators are trying to locate the remaining two students. The FBI issued a nationwide alert with the students' names, ages, passport numbers and photos.
A preliminary investigation "has not identified any credible or imminent threat posed by any of the 11 Egyptian students," the FBI has said.
The agency also stressed that there are no ties between the Egyptians and the suspected terror plot announced Thursday by British and U.S. authorities, The Associated Press reported.
The 11 male students were part of a group of 17 that arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy airport July 29 for an exchange program at Montana State University. All had valid student visas, but only six showed up for class, authorities said.
Federal authorities began thoroughly tracking international students after learning that one of the 9/11 hijackers was in the country on an expired student visa.
The students unaccounted for have been identified as:
• Mohamed Saleh Ahmed Maray, 20
• Mohamed Ibrahim Fouaad El Shenawy, 17.
