Stop me if you've heard this one before

Eleven Arab ... er, Egyptian men entered the country on student visas. They get to New York City to pick up their flight to their college in Montana of all places. But they never make their flight. All eleven have disappeared. The FBI is searching for them. But there's nothing to suggest these eleven are terrorists, of course. Just eleven Middle Eastern tourists who want to hang together in New York City, their plans to study in the US blown to hell. How's that for two bad puns? Insert your religion of peace, no reasonable basis for suspicion ACLU speech here.

Michelle Malkin has the scoop, along with the best editing of the day:

Eleven Egyptian student visa holders landed at JFK Airport and disappeared.

AP/Newsday: "FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko said there is no threat associated with the men."

Robert Spencer: "Sure. That's why they're hunting for them."

Wizbang has the identities of "non-terrorist Egyptian men that the FBI says must be approached with caution:":

1. Ibrahim, El Sayed Ahmed Elsayed; DOB OF 4/29/1986.
2. El Dessouki, Eslam Ibrahim Mohamed; DOB OF 02/21/1985.
3. El Bahnasawi, Alaa Abd El Fattah Ali; DOB OF 04/02/1986.
4. Abd Alla, Mohamed Ragab Mohamed; DOB OF 02/15/1984.
5. El Laket, Ahmed Refaat Saad El Moghazi; DOB OF 09/01/1986.
6. El Ela, Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed Abou; DOB OF 02/02/1985.
7. El Moghazy, Mohamed Ibrahim Elsayed; DOB OF 08/08/1986.
8. Abdou, Ebrahim Mabrouk Moustafa; DOB OF 02/25/1984.
9. El Gafary, Moustafa Wagdy Moustafa; DOB OF 07/01/1988.
10.Maray, Mohamed Saleh Ahmed; DOB OF 09/12/1985.
11.El Shenawy, Mohamed Ibrahim Fouaad; DOB OF 08/12/1988.

Wizbang also points out al-Qaida #2 (another pun) Zawahiri's announcement that an Egyptian militant group has merged with Al Qaeda.

All a coincidence, I'm sure.
