U.S. soldier freed in Afghanistan, 5 Taliban prisoners leave Gitmo

Posted: 01 Jun 2014 10:32 AM PDT

AMERICAN POW RELEASED BY TALIBANBy Warren Strobel and David Brunnstrom WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The sole American prisoner of war held in Afghanistan was flown to a U.S. military hospital in Germany on Sunday after being freed in a swap deal for five Taliban militants who were released from the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl had been held for nearly five years and his release, following years of negotiations, suddenly became possible after harder-line factions of the Afghan Taliban shifted course and agreed to back it, U.S. officials said. U.S. Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said he hoped the exchange might lead to breakthroughs in reconciliation with the militants. He denied accusations from some Republicans the swap resulted from U.S. negotiations with terrorists, saying it had been worked out by the government of Qatar.
