RSSTaliban Demand U.S. Stop Attacks, or Soldier Will Be Executed

KABUL — The Taliban threatened Thursday to kill a captured American soldier unless the U.S. military stops operations in two districts of southeastern Afghanistan.
The Taliban said last week they were holding the soldier, who the U.S. military earlier described as possibly being in enemy hands.
Abdullah Jalali, a spokesman for Taliban commander Mawlavi Sangin, told The Associated Press in a phone interview the soldier was healthy.
He said the soldier would be killed unless the U.S. stops airstrikes in Ghazni province’s Giro district and Paktika province’s Khoshamand district. Still, Jalali said the final decision about the soldier’s fate will be made by Taliban leader Mullah Omar.
