 Three Muslim medical students detained on suspicion
of planning a terrorist attack in the US which turned
out to be a false alarm are seeking an alternative place
to study after a Florida hospital cancelled their internship.
Ayman Gheith, 27, Kambiz Butt, 25, and Omar Choudhary,
23, said they would not sue Larkin Community Hospital
in South Miami, which received around 200 emails urging
their exclusion after they were detained.
Police took action after a customer in a restaurant
alleged she overheard the men discussing plans for an
attack.
The authorities held the three for 17 hours on Friday
and Saturday, shut down a major highway, and searched
their cars for explosives - but found nothing threatening
and released them without charge.
They are second-year students at Ross University School
of Medicine, and are based at a campus on the Caribbean
island of Dominica.
They are of Jordanian, Iranian and Pakistani descent.
