One Afghan evacuee in custody after security screening at US military base in Europe
One person evacuated from Afghanistan to a U.S. military base in Germany is in custody after failing a security screening but is not believed to be a "high threat," the top U.S. general in Europe said Thursday.
Speaking via video conference to reporters at the Pentagon, U.S. European Command chief Gen. Tod Wolters would not elaborate on the man in custody, saying such information is "protected."
But the general said he is "currently in the appropriate custody of U.S. interagency officials, and Germany has been very, very cooperative, and we are still working his background investigation."
In addition to the person in custody, 58 Afghans have been flagged for needing additional screening, but Wolters said he expects that "all 58 will probably clear."
