Taliban offer to free US soldier
None
The Afghan Taliban say they are ready to hand over a US soldier held captive since 2009 in exchange for five of their senior operatives being held at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
A Taliban spokesman, Shaheen Suhail, says US Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl "is as far as I know in good condition." Suhail spoke in an exclusive telephone interview with The Associated Press from the newly opened Taliban offices in Doha, Qatar. Bergdahl disappeared in eastern Afghanistan on June 30, 2009.(AP)
