KABUL - A captured U.S. soldier will be executed unless the U.S. military stops operations in two districts of southeastern Afghanistan, a spokesman for the Taliban said Thursday.
The Taliban said last week they were holding the soldier. The U.S. military earlier said he went missing and may be in enemy hands.
Abdullah Jalali, spokesman for Taliban commander Mawlavi Sangin, told The Associated Press on Thursday the soldier was healthy but threatened to kill him unless the U.S. stops airstrikes in Ghazni province's Giro district and Paktika province's Khoshamand district.
