10,000 Saudis are coming

From Asharq Alasat, the leading Arabic International Daily:
More than 10,000 Saudi students will travel to the US to attend university as part of a government-sponsored program following the adoption of new measures by the Ministry of Higher Education aimed at facilitating travel procedures for Saudis. In total, 21,000 Saudis are expected to take part in the program in the next four years.
They're here to attend college. Perhaps a few will also attend a "Big Wedding"...?

Undoubtedly, the vast majority of these kids are honest young people who hope to get ahead in a nation that is sliding backward economically. But let's be realistic: The FBI will have to keep close tabs on all of 'em. Does the Bureau have the manpower?
