Taliban talks of more kidnapping of Americans

• Next News Network
A Taliban commander tells the press his group is now planning to stage more kidnappings, after their prisoner trade with the United States. U.S. Army Sargent Bowe Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban. President Obama recently negotiated a trade, exchanging five Taliban prisoners for the American. The leader stated this made kidnapping U.S. soldiers much more tempting for his forces. He told the press, "It's better to kidnap one person like Bergdahl than kidnapping hundreds of useless people. It has encouraged our people. Now everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird."
