The Taliban's only known American captive appears in a new propaganda video posted online. Bowe Bergdahl, who was captured in Afghanistan nearly 18 months ago, was last seen in a Taliban video released in April. There is no indication when the scenes in the video were recorded, but Bergdahl's family have confirmed that the thin Westerner that appears in the video is the missing soldier, CNN reports.
