Buffalo, New York: An Afghan military officer who says he'll be targeted by the Taliban if sent home continues to await a decision on whether he can stay in the United States.
Major Jan Arash appeared Tuesday in the US Immigration Court in western New York, where a judge was expected to rule on his asylum claim. Instead, Arash's attorney says the judge took the case under advisement and will issue a decision later.
Arash is one of three Afghan soldiers who fled a US-led military training exercise in Massachusetts in September with hopes of entering Canada. Instead, they were turned away at the border and taken into US custody.
