Think global, watch local

This just in from a local television news channel:

An Egyptian student in an American university was arrested today after he failed to show up at the college, having landed in New York a few days ago. Some seven or eight of his other mates from Egypt are reported missing too. According to the TV report, the police found the students' disappearance suspicious because they're from the Middle East.

Middle East? No, Egypt. No...whatever. Hope the police weren't watching the news. In the end, it will hopefully turn out that the students were experiencing immigration issues, and they are all allowed to go back home to Indonesia.
