Missing Afghans Raise Terrorism Fears - Seven military students fled training in U.S. this month
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 9/27/16 | Bill Gertz

Several Afghan nationals undergoing military training in the United States disappeared from U.S. military bases this month, according to Pentagon and Homeland Security officials.

“During the month of September, seven Afghan students were considered absent without leave (AWOL) during international military student programs,” Pentagon spokesman Cmdr. Patrick L. Evans said.

Three of the Afghan military trainees fled from a Pentagon training program two weekends ago during the bombing spree in New York and New Jersey by Afghan-born bombing suspect Ahmad Rahami, raising concerns among security officials that the missing Afghan students may be linked to terrorism or plans for attacks in the United States.

...

Two of the missing Afghans had been training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and one was training at Fort Gordon, Georgia.

An Army source said the Afghans who left the weekend of the New York area bombings appeared to be part of a coordinated effort. The three men are being probed for possible connections to Rahami. “Initial assessment is that there is not relation and the timing is coincidental,” the source said.

Evans declined to comment on whether the Pentagon has security concerns about the missing Afghans.

When the head of our CIA is a convert to Islam and Hillary’s chief advisor being involved with the Muslim Brotherhood, why be concerned about a few Muslim recruits traveling to join the jihad? We have a much bigger problem than that.

Stop even bringing these desperate people to the United States. Our immigration laws have about dissolved for those not too bothered about breaking laws. What do you expect these people to do in the ‘land of plenty’ knowing they will soon be sent back to the barren, shellshocked mountain ranges. About 40 years ago, it was always the Cubans trying to hijack a plane into the states. That was then.

The bigger problem you speak of is that Hussein is one of them.

Only plan on this number going up. It is Hussein Obama's legacy, a growing number that America's FIRST Muslim President is proud of!

Well, we asked them very nicely if they were terrorists, and they assured us that was against their peaceful Islamic religion, and told us if we insulted their religion again they would chop our heads off.

Why were they even allowed to train in the U.S. in the first place? We so need a President Trump.
