No ransom paid for release of Sgt Bergdahl: US
June 11, 2014
No ransom was paid for the release of Sgt Bowe Bergdahl, who was held under Taliban captivity for five years, the US has said, refuting all such reports in this regard.
"I've seen these reports that suggest that a ransom was somehow paid, and those reports are inaccurate," White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest said yesterday. "Not from the United States government, not from a third party, none?" he was asked.
