17 Afghan Military listed as AWOL from Texas U.S. Air Force Base

In a Fox News Exclusive report, I read that 17 members of the Afghan Military, officers and enlisted personnel, have gone AWOL from a Texas Air Force Base. This is the same Air Base where other countries send their military pilots to learn English.

In a lookout bulletin issued by Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Dallas, you will find out that the Afghani men have been issued a Department of Defense Common Access Card with which they could use to enter ANY secure DoD installation.

Just how long have these men been AWOL? I really would like to know why we are just now hearing about this? Do you realize that these men have disappeared over the course of the past

2 years??? Why are we just now hearing about this?

"I can confirm that 17 have gone missing from the Defense Language Institute," said Gary Emery, Chief of Public Affairs, 37th Training Wing, at Lackland AFB. "They disappeared over the course of the last two years, and none in the last three months."

Did Fox News have such an exclusive lock on this information that they sat on it for nearly 2 years? I doubt it that.

Fox News also reports that......

"The bulletin requests, "If any Afghan pictured herein is encountered, detain the subject and contact your local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, the FBI or NCIS.""

"A senior Defense Department official in Washington told Fox News he had no direct knowledge of the 17 men being AWOL."

"The official added that this is not the first time foreign trainees have gone missing, and said some cases in the past have turned out to be more of an immigration concern than a national security threat."

Here is a listing of the names of the 17 Afghan military men:

Ahad Abdulahad, born 5/5/1984

Obaiddullah Abrahimy, born 8/1/1979

Mohd Ahmadi, born 5/5/1978

Khan Padshah Amiri, born 4/1/1978

Javed Aryan a.k.a. Aryan Javed, born 1/1/1987

Abdul Ghani Barakzai, born 8/8/1977

Mohamed Fahim Faqier, born 6/1/1987

Atiqullah Habibi, two dates of birth are listed on the alert: 6/2/1982 and 7/2/1982

Sayed Qadir Shah Habiby, born 5/7/1985

Sayed Nasir Hashimi, born 4/5/1972

It remains to be seen if they will attempt to access any of our secure DoD installations. Or perhaps they have done so, and that is the reason for a bulletin suddenly being issued?
