This Can't Be Good

Two men from Afghanistan who are undergoing training at an Air Force base in Georgia have been reported missing, officials said Tuesday.

Officials at Moody Air Force Base, near Valdosta, said in a statement the two students didn’t report Monday to “their regular maintenance training” with the 81st Fighter Squadron.

The two men have been training at the base since February and “were screened prior to their arrival in the United States more than a year ago,” according to the statement.

Officials said that federal authorities are searching for the students, who have been training “alongside American counterparts for the entirety of 2015 and do not pose any apparent threat.” Officials didn’t release a description of the men or their names.

The 81st Fighter Squadron was reactivated in January to train Afghan airmen, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The men, identified by local media as Mirwais Kohistani and Shirzad Rohullah, were part of a 23-member group undergoing training at Moody Air Force Base outside of Valdosta. Base officials said the two didn't report for regular maintenance training on Tuesday.

Both were assigned to the 81st Fighter Squadron and had been at Moody since February. Air Force officials maintain the men were screened before entering the U.S. and do no posse any terrorist threat.

Authorities are releasing few details of the search but employees with Valdosta Regional Airport said law enforcement viewed and copied surveillance footage taken at the facility.

yep now all we have to worry is that it isn't same local contract employee who vetted fiance visa's from Pakistan did their background checks.
