"Bomb threat case against student dismissed"

"When the FBI agents went to my house and arrested me,

"I didn't know what was going on.

"It took me 15 minutes to remember the jokes."

And the UTEP Prospector's Ms. Nicole Chávez has this weeks story.

¡Adelante, Nicole!



This snippet is from the Tuesday, March 23, 2010 issue.


"After three months under criminal investigation due to a bomb threat, Ahmad Fares - Hammad, senior electrical engineering major, was cleared of the charges.

"[An] administrative assistant, who had been working at UTEP for three years looked at Fares - Hammad's senior project, and asked him what's that? It looks scary.

"[A]nswered Fares - Hammad, who thought the woman was joking, It should look scary, it's a bomb.."


AND NOW, AFTER BEING BUSTED BY THE FEDS...


"Fares - Hammad said, Back home, people really like you if you are Arab and U.S. citizen, you receive better treatment. Here even international students discriminate against you ...

"Fares - Hammad said, Now I'm sure that I don't want to stay in El Paso after graduation..."


Some good points! :)


¡Ora, UTEP!

¡Ora. MEChA!

¡Adelante, DESTINO!
