3 Afghan troops training in Georgia among 7 missing from US bases
By Leada Gore
Two Afghan military members from Fort Benning in Georgia are among seven foreign troops now considered AWOL after leaving their U.S. posts, military officials said.
The Fort Benning students left their posts over Labor Day weekend, according to the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. The same weekend, two other Afghan military students, one from Fort Lee, Virginia and one from Little Rock Arkansas, left their posts without permission. On the weekend of Sept. 17-18, three more students, two at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and one at Fort Gordon, Georgia were discovered missing.
Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it is aware of the situation and is currently investigating the situation. Officials have not said if they believe the absences are connected.
The September incidents are just the latest in a series from Afghan personnel training in the U.S.
In December, two Afghan military mechanics disappeared while training at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia. Only one of the men has been located.
In 2012, three senior Afghan national army officers disappeared while at Joint Base Cape Cod. The men were later discovered and detained after trying to cross over the Canadian border. Also in 2012, two Afghan policemen in Washington, D.C. for training disappeared during a sightseeing trip. They were later found by officials at an undisclosed location.
