Medical students detained in terror highway scare rejected from school
The 17-hour terror scare on Florida's highway has caused a Miami hospital to turn away three Muslim medical students who were headed there when the detainment happened.
The head of Larkin Community Hospital said that he had received more than 200 e-mails voicing concern, some threatening.
The men's medical school, Ross University, had agreed to transfer them to a different training program but that they might be welcome at Larkin at a later time.
The students, Ayman Gheith, 27, Kambiz Butt, 25, both from suburban Chicago and Omar Choudhary, 23, of Independence, Mo., were on their way from Chicago to Larkin for a nine-week medical training program. When they reached Florida, their car was pulled over after they were supposively heard saying alarming comments in a Georgia restaurant. Nothing was found and the men were released. They will meet with their attorneys this week.
