The Egyptian Foreign Ministry stated Sunday that Egyptian officials are to meet with the two Egyptian students charged with transporting explosives in the United States. The students were arrested on August 4 in South Carolina. A federal grand jury in Tampa, Florida has indicted them on charges of illegally transporting explosives over state lines.
“Officials from the Egyptian embassy in Washington will meet the two students at their place of detention on Wednesday,” the ministry said Sunday.

Egypt’s official news agency MENA reported Saturday that Washington denied Cairo’s request to meet with the two men.
