Those two Afghans who absconded that you didn’t hear about

Absconded Afghans

Our buddy, Michelle Malkin writes about two other Afghan officers who absconded from their training with the Drug Enforcement Agency – the ones you never heard about. It looks like it happened last week, too, and they were also discovered while they were traveling to Buffalo. From DC Crime Stories;

The two men were police officers with Afghanistan Ministry of Interior Affairs, described by law enforcement officials as the equivalent of the DEA in the United States. The group had been training at the Quantico Marine Corps Base for about a month to combat drug trafficking. They graduated Thursday and are scheduled to leave the country Friday.

On Saturday evening, 31 members of the group, accompanied by DEA special agents, visited Georgetown where they ate at a restaurant and did a little sight-seeing, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation.

The group then met at the Washington Harbor to hop on a tour boat to Alexandria, but two of the men – 22-year-old Mohammad Yasin Ataye and 24-year-old Mohd Naweed Samimi — were missing.

From WIVB;

The men were highly vetted and trusted; they were part of a group training in a special DEA program. The skills they learned in Quantico, Virginia they bring back to their country to help stop illegal drug flow there. The two men disappeared in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. nine days ago. They were found this past Thursday here in Buffalo.

Rusty Payne, the Drug Enforcement Administration’s spokesperson in Washington DC, said what happened in this case may lead to more oversight. Payne wants to stress the two missing Afghan policemen who were found in Buffalo were not dangerous. He said they just wanted a better life.

Then they should make a better life for themselves in Afghanistan. Ms. Malkin asks, rightly, what’s the attraction to the Canadian border that we need to know about? A prospective terrorist was arrested in the western NY region recently.

These men are considered the best and brightest from Afghanistan law enforcement.

All the more reason they should go home and work on the security of their nation, rather than make ours less secure.

  1. The United States is one big, beautiful country and these guys head to BUFFALO?!!!

    No wonder they got caught.

    Sheesh!

    1. MustangCryppie…ROTFLMAO!!! Yea Buffalo? I could have understood maybe DisneyWorld but…Buffalo? Gee Wiz.

  2. Possibly a sleeper cell to hit the generators at Niagara Falls? It’s a stretch, but the Nazis tried it…

    1. I think even Buffalo, NY is Shangri-la when you compare it to a lot of places I went to or through in A-Stan!

    1. Sure it does. MREs and a hike in the woods, or floating on a big gray steel tub watching the waves go by doesn’t qualify?

  4. Didn’t the Andrews sisters do a song and dance routine to that song “Shuffle Off to Buffalo”?

  7. “The men were highly vetted and trusted….” Um. Who did the vetting and trusting?

  8. “Then they should make a better life for themselves in Afghanistan.: Thank you for that Jonn! That is why when we leave, Afghanistan will return to a Sharia Law, Taliban run shit hole. Same with Iraq. You can’t save folks not willing to fight and die for their own “America”, if that’s what they like and want, in their own country.

  9. Maybe they “herd” the goats up in Buffalo were better looking than one’s back home…*rim shot*

  11. Well, what a pair of silly people. All they have to do is go home and persuade locals to grow potatoes instead of poppies. Right?

    OK, some years ago, when drug trafficking form Mexico lindo was not quite as bad as it is now, a comment from one individual was that if we (the US) would buy tomatoes instead of cocaine, people down there would grow tomatoes and drug trafficking would drop.

    Well, they do grow tomatoes. I do buy them. They’re quite good. And drug trafficking is worse than ever.

    So, yes, these gentlmen could have a better life but they have to do it in their own country and find a way to cut the growth of opium poppies. When I watched ‘Bomb Patrol’, sometimes I could see that those fields were plowed and I wondered what was planted in them and then I realized what it was: opium poppies, not potatoes. Silly me.

    These and the other three tried running away from the problem, which doesn’t work. And it is going to get worse than ever because they won’t stand up to it.
