Taliban Video Shows Captive US soldier. That's a very sad new for the family of the US soldier who went missing on June 30. It is now confirmed that the soldier was capture by the Taliban. A video of the soldier was posted on a website by the Taliban on Saturday. The above image is a screen capture of the video from the Taliban website.
The Huffington Post has this article about this video:
Two U.S. defense officials confirmed to The Associated Press that the man in the video is the captured soldier. The video provides the first glimpse the public has had of the missing soldier.
The soldier is shown in the 28-minute video with his head shaved and the start of a beard. He is sitting and dressed in a nondescript, gray outfit. Early in the video one of his captors holds the soldier's dog tag up to the camera. His name and ID number are clearly visible. He is shown eating at one point and sitting cross-legged.
The soldier, whose identity has not yet been released by the Pentagon pending notification of members of Congress and the soldier's family, says his name, age and hometown on the video, which was released Saturday on a Web site pointed out by the Taliban.
The soldier said the date is July 14. He says he was captured when he lagged behind on a patrol.
