Like A Movie – Awesome Footage Shows US / Taliban Prisoner Swap As It Happens [Video]
05 Jun 2014 by Jasmine Stone in Crime, Politics, Video, World
A video has been released by the Taliban of the prisoner swap between the US as it happened.
There is a great deal of speculation as to why they would release such footage with some saying it is a strong message that their movement is no-where near dead and that they are still a force to be reckoned with.
The US soldier [Sgt Bowe Bergdahl] was freed on Saturday in exchange for the release of five senior Taliban figures from Guantanamo Bay.
The deal has caused controversy in the US, with Republicans warning it could put American lives at risk. The video, released on Wednesday, shows the soldier dressed in traditional Afghan clothing as he sits waiting in the truck.
Read more of the controversy here and here and… well, all over the news really. But take a look at the footage above first. Do you think this swap was a good move?
