They aren't a known threat. However, at least one of the hijackers on 9/11 entered on a student visa and never showed up for the classes he was allegedly taking. Since then, the US govt. has apparently tried to seal up this gap in security but keeping better track of where student visa entrants go after entering.
Since a large group did just that, they are making sure that these students don't just disappear.
That's my interpretation, anyway.
I'm glad this latest attack was apparently foiled, and thank British Intelligence for their work. I hope no innocent people end up being caught in the dragnet.
