A Missing Egyptian Student Arrested At O'Hare

CBS TV Chicago reports:
Chicago police on Thursday morning arrested one of the 11 Egyptian students who were wanted for failing to show up for an exchange program in Montana.

At 8 a.m., about four hours after heightened security restrictions went into effect following a foiled terror plot in Britain, a man at the Delta terminal at O’Hare International Airport tried to use a ticket to go to Bozeman, Montana, but his ticket was out of New York rather than Chicago, police Supt. Philip Cline said at a news conference.

A disturbance then ensued. “He was raising his voice for the level for the counter agent to call for the police officer to come over,” Cline said.

A Chicago police officer came to the scene and ran the man’s name in a federal database. The man, Ahmed Abou El Ela, 21, was found to be one of the missing Egyptian students, Cline said.
One of the "missing students" found.Students of what though?
