Two Afghan military officers who were in Massachusetts for training went missing over the weekend after not showing up for a flight at Logan Airport.
Boston 25 News learned the two were transported to the airport on Saturday to catch a flight home, but the plane left without them on it.
"It's embarrassing," Northeastern University associate professor Max Abrahms said. "I want to know the identity of these people, their backgrounds, and what they were trying to do."
The two were guests at a United States Department of Defense training exercise that took place at Camp Edwards on Cape Cod last week.
More than 200 service members from five countries attended.
In 2014, three Afghan officers attending the same type of training program walked away from a group outing at the Cape Cod Mall, and were captured days later at the United States-Canadian border in Niagara Falls.
"The fact that the federal agencies did not give the amount of information that they could to relive that kind of anxiety," Rep. Bill Keating said in September of 2014.
The Department of Defense tells Boston 25 News that they are unable to verify the report, despite confirmation from the Massachusetts National Guard.
