Authorities in Egypt said three Americans who attend Cairo's American University, one of whom had an Indiana driver's license, were arrested Monday in connection with throwing Molotov cocktails in Cairo's Tahrir Square during the ongoing riots.

"The three boys were throwing Molotov cocktails and had no passports on them when they were picked up," Prosecutor's spokesman Adel Saeed said Monday. "They have been questioned by the police and will be further investigated today."

The "claims are being currently investigated," U.S. Embassy deputy press officer David Lynfield said Monday.
