Missing CSULB International Student

Nineteen year-old Majid Khalid Shuhail, an international student from CSULB's American Language Institute, went missing Feb. 15, the Daily 49er said.

CSULB did not find out until Feb. 19.

Lynne Richmond, director of the American Language Institute, said that Shuhail, who is from the United Arab Emirates, went missing after going to airport but not boarding his flight.

Shuhail's father has flown to the United States to search for his son.

In the Daily 49er article, Richmond said that "Nobody knows much."

***UPDATE***

Shuhail was found in Los Angeles, the Daily 49er said March 6.

Shuhail and his father will go by the United Arab Emirates Embassy in Washington D.C. before returning to UAE, an article published by the Emirates News Agency March 1 said.

A news Web site from UAE said that Shuhail had previously informed the UAE Embassy that he did not wish to study in the U.S.

Shuhail is no longer enrolled in the American Language Institute at CSULB.
