Afghan duo missing from Ga. base

ATLANTA - Two Afghanistan Air Force maintenance personnel in training at Moody Air Force Base, Ga., have been missing from the base since Dec. 7, when they did not report back to duty after a weekend break from training. The duo had been screened before entering the country and there is no indication they pose a threat, base officials said. The men did not report Dec. 7 for continued training with the 81st Fighter Squadron, base officials said. Federal, local and state agencies are working with the military to locate them. The names of the two men, who were scheduled to graduate at the end of December, have not been released. The duo had been at Moody under training order since February.
