Two Afghan trainees reported missing from Georgia Air Force base

None

Two men from Afghanistan being trained by the U.S. military have disappeared from an Air Force base in Georgia and were being sought by federal authorities, officials said on Tuesday.

 

The two Afghan air force students failed to show up for duty on Monday at their regular maintenance training at Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta, Georgia, an Air Force spokesman said in a statement.

 

The two men have been at the base since February, and were screened prior to their arrival in the United States more than a year ago, he said.

 

The students do not pose any apparent threat, the spokesman added.
