Kabul, June 4 (IBNS) The Taliban on Wednesday released a video which showed the moment when US soldier Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was handed over by them to the US forces last week.

The video footage showed the soldier, who was wearing a traditional Afghan dress, sitting in a truck while several people with their faces covered are seen standing next to the vehicle.

"A Black Hawk helicopter then lands and the Taliban fighters - one of whom carries a stick with a white flag - lead Sgt Bergdahl to a meeting point where he is being taken away by US forces.The exchange took place in Ali Sher district of Khost province near the Pakistan border," BBC reported.

The only United States prisoner, who was in captivity of the Taliban militants in Afghanistan since the war in the country, was handed over to U.S. Special Operations forces on Saturday, in exchange of the freedom of five Taliban detainees.
