| Taliban Claims SEAL Hostage, Threatens to Kill Him |
| Thursday, July 07, 2005 |
On Thursday a purported Taliban spokesman reiterated a claim that his group is holding a missing U.S. commando and said that insurgent leaders had decided to kill him. No proof was offered to back up the claim.
The U.S. military had no comment on the latest claim, saying only that they are making every effort to locate the commando.
The Taliban spokesman, Mullah Latif Hakimi, has said previously that the Taliban are holding the commando, who has been missing in Afghanistan for 10 days. But his information has in the past frequently proven exaggerated or untrue, and his exact tie to the Taliban leadership cannot be independently verified.
U.S. military forces in Afghanistan are conducting an "aggressive search" for a Navy SEAL who has been missing since June 28, a commander on the ground told FOX News. |
