Giving new meaning to "Home Grown Terrorist". 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. From al.com

Is this deja vu all over again? Something like this happened 2-3 years ago, too. Nothing came of it that I can recall though.
Edit to add-
I see my memory isn't completely shot, just my ability to read thoroughly as the incident I recall is mentioned in the last paragraph.

They should be easy to find. The Georgia National Open Dairy Goat Show is Oct 10-11.

Yeah, better watch out for your little boys and farm animals.
How much training does it take to learn to shoot an AK47 unaimed, gaurd a poppy field, and pad a U.S. funded payroll?
What an absolute waste of our resources.

Start implanting tracking chips in these bastards. Every single one as a condition of entry. It's not like they eschew technology, it's used to detonate their IEDs

id check the local sheep farms. I can't believe anyone would say such a thing, that's perverted. Everyone knows they prefer goats.

I doubt they're terrorist threats...they probably see this as their one and only chance at escaping that schitthole and realize we're about ready to pull completely out and leave them hanging...literally...because as soon as we DO pull out, it'll be just like what happened in South Vietnam and Iraq.

They will not be hard to find...just look up the address they put on their electoral enrolment form...and if it is the same as the drivers licence and social security address you have them.
Thought you would like a bit of irony to start your day.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I know the Saudi's that came here for vehicle training seemed to run to the porn shops at the end of the day or strip clubs on the weekends. Middlefork_Miner has a good point, they are probably just looking for a better life but it's unfortunate our security is so lax.
