WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Federal agents Thursday arrested three more Egyptian students -- two in Maryland, another in Chicago -- leaving five of the once-11 missing men still at large, the FBI said.
A group 17 Egyptians arrived in New York in late July, but only six showed up for classes at Montana State, federal authorities said. The FBI issued a nationwide lookout when notified by the school.
Three were taken into federal custody Wednesday, and three more were being watched by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents a day later.
"Preliminary investigation by FBI and ICE agents has not identified any credible or imminent threat posed by any of the eleven Egyptian students," the FBI said.
