Bowe Bergdahl: Video 'shows US soldier handover' | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A Taliban video has emerged purporting to show the moment Sgt Bowe Bergdahl was handed over to US forces after five years in captivity in Afghanistan. | |
The footage shows him sitting in a pick-up truck, before being walked to a helicopter in Khost province. | |
The US soldier was freed on Saturday in exchange for the release of five Guantanamo Bay detainees. | |
The deal has caused controversy in the US, with Republicans warning it could put American lives at risk. | |
The army has said it would review the circumstances surrounding Sgt Bergdahl's capture. | |
The top-ranking US military officer, Gen Martin Dempsey, also raised the possibility that the soldier could be prosecuted if he abandoned his post before his capture. | |
Sgt Bergdahl is in a stable condition in a military hospital in Germany. |
