Bowe Bergdahl was taken prisoner by the Taliban in June 2009 while serving in Afghanistan. A video clip launched by the Taliban this week included video footage showing Bowe Bergdahl with his captors. The Taliban had threatened Bergdahl’s life upon his capture, but a journalist who had been once held by the Taliban thinks he could be alright. The Taliban won't permit somebody to get a good installment loan to purchase Bergdahl's independence either.

sixteen months back Bergdahl caught
It seems as if Bergdahl has been beaten, although he is clean shaven, in the most recent Taliban video. The appearance of Bergdahl in the Taliban video clip makes it seem as if the video was taken soon after he was taken. Experts believe it was close to sixteen months ago. Since Bowe Bergdahl was captures in Afghanistan, he has came out in 4 Taliban videos including the one released Wed. Other videos show him with facial hair. A longer beard is in some. The Taliban is expected to only be holding the one U.S. soldier hostage. Jalaluddin Jaqqani is a senior Taliban commander who’s shown within the video giving a statement along with the appearance of the soldier and militant attack video clips.
Possibility of Bergdahl assisting Taliban
In April, Bowe Bergdahl surfaced in a Taliban video denouncing the Afghanistan War and pleading to be launched. One of the captors of Bowe Bergdahl, supposedly, came to the Sunday Times in August to explain the American was taught how to convert a cell phone into a remote detonator for a roadside bomb after being converted to Islam. Supposedly the Afghan intelligence officials cooperated with the Taliban then. Bowe Bergdahl did too. However, the alleged captor said the information Bowe Bergdahl shared with the Taliban were common knowledge and that he was pretending to be a Muslim to keep from being beheaded.
Trying to stay alive with some sort of worth is Bergdahl
A journalist explained that Bergdahl is safe. This was after the journalist was, in 2008, captured by the Taliban. In an interview with ID Public Television, Jere Van Dyk said he did not believe the Taliban would harm him. Van Dyk was kidnapped by the Taliban, held 45 days and launched. He said the Taliban would make an effort to brainwash Bergdahl and pressure him to become a Muslim. He is still alive though as a valuable propaganda tool. Van Dyk explained that the Taliban is showing that they’re terrorizing their enemies by keeping their captives still living instead.
