Bowe Bergdahl, Captive US Soldier Shown In Taliban Video

The Taliban has released a video purporting to show US soldier Bowe Robert Bergdahl who was captured in Afghanistan almost six months ago.

The video has not been verified, but shows a man wearing sunglasses and a US military-style helmet and uniform.

He appears healthy and speaks calmly and clearly, and does not appear to be under duress, the AP news agency said.

Pte Bergdahl, a US airborne infantryman, was captured by the Afghan Taliban in Paktika province on 30 June.

The insurgents also released a video of him a few weeks after he was captured.

The Pentagon has said Pte Bergdahl was serving with an Alaska-based infantry regiment in Paktika province, eastern Afghanistan.

He is believed to be the first soldier seized in either Iraq or Afghanistan for at least two years.
