WASHINGTON – The American soldier
who went missing June 30 from his base in eastern Afghanistan and was
later confirmed to have been captured, appeared on a video posted
Saturday to a Web site by the Taliban, two U.S. defense officials said.
The
soldier is shown in the 28-minute video with his head shaved and the
start of a beard. He is sitting and dressed in a nondescript, gray
outfit. Early in the video one of his captors holds the soldier's dog
tag up to the camera. His name and ID number are clearly visible. He is
shown eating at one point and sitting on a bed.
