Seven US civilians carrying firearms on a private plane were arrested in Dubai last week after trying to enter Afghanistan during the US evacuation, a report said.
The would-be vigilantes wanted to assist the deadly military-led evacuation efforts from Kabul’s airport, before they were caught with firearms by United Arab Emirates officials on August 31, the last day of the pullout, according to Newsweek.
“The passengers reportedly planned to assist Afghanistan evacuation efforts but had no approved onward travels plans,” a State Department cable obtained by the magazine reportedly read. The US Consulate General in Dubai was reportedly “engaging with authorities on the issue.”
The arrests came on the same day the military left Afghanistan after evacuating tens of thousands of Americans and Afghan associates from the nation following the allied government’s shocking and rapid fall to the Taliban.
“We are aware of reports of U.S. citizens detained and then released in Dubai,” the State Department reportedly said.
Bronx Congressman Ritchie Torres, who is the vice-chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, told the magazine the incident is troubling.

Somebody’s got to do it.
These perfumed ponces are the true enemy of Americans everywhere.
The men had seven arms each?
And three Johnsons!
“Bronx Congressman Ritchie Torres, who is the vice-chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, told the magazine the incident is troubling.”
“The attempt by armed Americans to enter Afghanistan for reasons unknown is cause for alarm,” the Democrat told the outlet. “The Department of Justice must investigate who these people are, what were their intentions and motivations, and what, if any, ties do these individuals have to extremism here at home.” “
The ties they have to the “extremism here at home” are to the extreme stupidity and decision making of zhao biden and his party, which lead toe disastrous decisions in Afghanistan.
Traitor Joe is obviously compromised. Any rescue plans should be worked through the British.
"Civilians" have no idea of the “addiction” to adrenaline and purpose that some vets need to feel alive......Just IMHO....
Some more for ransom.
I like my warriors to be somewhat addicted to brains and intelligence, too.
(If they got caught as early as Dubai, how was the rest of this operation supposed to go down???)
Imagine, Joe Biden handed all those weapons to the Taliban, and now an ally arrests Americans trying to go and rescue other Americans
Have cash...get your weapons in country....
To be fair, there’s a pretty good chance that they’re former enlisted Marines and their crayon supply ran out. :P
The story, as presented, is kind of sketchy.
(And you probably need connections, not just cash...)
Don’t dis Marines. My Daddy was one.
Awe.that’s very sweet of them.
and what were these adrenaline junkie, heavy combat seeing individuals going to do? Figure out a way to get more 6th century, sharia loving, let’s get to America to pop out anchor babies and destroy America from within, savages to the United States, so the US taxpayer can take care of them and their families forever.
Oh wait, there are still Americans there. Sure there are. As American as baseball, hot dogs, apple pies and Chevrolets. Sure.
My dad is a retired Marine.
That’s why I suspect they were Marines. :P
There’s no such thing as a ‘retired’ or ‘former’ Marine.
Eh, I know the saying but when you’ve got a 100% disability, you’re retired whether you admit it or not. :P
