DAVIE, Fla. <AP) — A
Miami hospital says it no longer
wants the three Muslim medical
students who were detained for
17 hours after a woman said she
overheard them discussing ter
ror plans. The men later said the
incident was simply a misun
derstanding.
The head of Larkin
Community Hospital in Miami
said Sunday he had received
more than 200 e-mails after the
incident, some threatening.
“Obviously, nothing is
final,” said Dr. Jack Michel,
president and chief executive
officer of Larkin. “Our primary
objective is to take care of
patients. I don't know how that
could be done with all this
media coverage.”
He said the medical school
where the men are studying,
Ross University, had agreed to
transfer them to a different train
ing program.
Kambiz Butt, 25, said
Sunday that he and Ayman
Gheith, 27, and Omar
Choudhary, 23, simply want to
clear their names and be allowed
to continue their education in
the United States.

“But I’d like to tell the

The woman who called
authorities, Eunice Stone of
Cartersville, Ga., said she heard
the students talking about blow

about the Sept. 11 attacks. She
also said she heard the students
