State police: 3 missing Afghan soldiers in custody at Canadian border

BOSTON — Three Afghanistan National Army officers who went missing during a training exercise at a Cape Cod military base were detained Monday at the U.S.-Canadian border, Massachusetts law enforcement officials said.

Massachusetts state police were notified that the three were being questioned by federal authorities at Rainbow Bridge, which connects Niagara Falls, New York, and Niagara Falls, Ontario, said spokesman David Procopio, who did not have further details.

There was no immediate comment from the Pentagon.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Niagara Falls said they didn’t have the men in custody. Messages left for Canada Border Services Agency weren’t immediately returned.

2. Detained but not in custody? In Custody? Which is it?

The fact that they left the cape and were detained at the Canadian border makes me wonder why they left in the first place. Could they not have applied for political asylum? Why run?
Now where are they?
Situations as questionable as this will always make me wonder. Why didn't the Canadian authorities hold them and be in contact with US authorities?. Perhaps I have misread this post but do I understand that they questioned them and let them go or that they are still being held?
