Indian soldiers go missing in US

Two Indian soldiers who went to the United States with an Indian army contingent are reported missing.

Officials suspect they could be trying to enter the US illegally.

The Indian troops went to the US earlier this month for joint counter-terrorism exercises at Camp Pendleton in California.

Correspondents say that some Indian sportsmen have gone missing during the foreign tours. But it is rare for the soldiers to go missing.



It has emerged that the two soldiers went missing on 20 March, the last day of the exercises. Camp Pendleton is one of the largest marine corps bases in the US.

Will Nepalese Govt be involved since the soldiers were Nepalese citizens?

 

[ejaz007]

This is indeed funny. However even funnier is the idea that they shall be trying to enter USA illegally. Aren't they already in USA and I think legally. Anyways wish them best of luck to the land of milk and honey and lets hope one day they find their way back home.

No, they won't be returning home.

If found, they will get a one way ticket from the US govt straight to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Both the jawans are from Nepal and have completed about seven years and four years of service respectively with the battalion of the Indian Army.

Why nobody thinks about the possibility of the soldiers being spies.
