Muslim medical students aim to clear names and continue studies

THE three Muslim medical students detained after a woman said they were discussing terror plans told reporters they want to clear their names and study to become doctors, but a Miami hospital where they were supposed to train no longer wants them.

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”.
