July 18
Video footage is available via AP and ABC News
The Taliban has just released a video of the American soldier missing from his base in eastern Afghanistan since June 30.
The soldier, whose identity has not yet been confirmed by the Pentagon pending notification of members of Congress and the soldier’s family, states his identity on the video according to AP sources.
The soldier said the date is July 14. He says he was captured when he lagged behind on a patrol.
He is interviewed in English by his captors, and he is asked his views on the war (extremely hard), Islam ( wants to learn more it) and the morale of American soldiers (which he said was low.)
Asked how he was doing, the soldier said:
“Well I’m scared, scared I won’t be able to go home,” he said on the video. “It is very unnerving to be a prisoner.”
