Taliban releases video
A video of Bergdahl is posted on the Internet. In the film Bergdahl says he was captured after lagging behind during a patrol. After the Pentagon positively identifies the missing soldier, his father issues a statement through the US Department of Defense:
We hope and pray for our son’s safe return to his comrades and then to our family, and we appreciate all the support and expressions of sympathy shown to us by our family members, our friends and others across the nation.
