3 Afghan Soldiers Missing From Cape Cod Base (Associated Press)
As police and U. S. military officials searched for three Afghanistan National Army officers who went missing during a training exercise at a Cape Cod military base, Gov. Deval Patrick said one of the possibilities being investigated is that they may be trying to find a way to stay in the United States.
Patrick said Monday that the military does not believe that the three soldiers pose a danger to the public.
"I don't have a reason to believe that they pose a threat. They were vetted by the military, they were cleared by the military," Patrick told reporters while he visited a preschool program in Quincy.
"There is a lot of speculation within the military that they may be trying to defect," he said.
