(CNN) -- As the controversy surrounding Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl release gains growing attention, Bergdahl's family is now the target of recent threats, according to an FBI spokesman.

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl family have received threats following his release after five years in captivity at the hands of the Taliban, an FBI spokesman told CNN on Saturday.

"We are working jointly with our state and local partners and taking each threat seriously," FBI Special Agent William Facer said in an e-mail.

Facer declined to detail the nature and severity of the threats.

Additionally, the military spokesperson for the Bergdahl family emphasized this is a "law enforcement issue."

All the while, a fallen soldier's mother and a former member of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's unit pressed assertions Saturday that troops were killed while searching for him in Afghanistan. Officials say that there is no such evidence.

If true, and that’s a big if, it’s probably because of their praising allah in the Rose Garden.

You could make a case that the father appealed to Islam in the Rose Garden. Islam is the enemy.

Betcha if Truman had let something like this happen in WWII whereby a family spoke a Japanese they would have received more than just death threats.

I'm not saying the threats are right. However, when you align yourself with the enemy don't expect hugs and kisses from a lot of Americans.

I seriously doubt that. It would not surprise me if Obama used them for an ReichStagg Fire incident.

The asshole of a father brought it on himself. He deserves whatever he gets. Just as does his son. However in this screwed up, formerly great country, The deserter will likely get CMOH and his platoon mates will go to Leavenworth for disobeying non disclosure orders.

Stop it. Why must you always infect each thread with your weak-hearted statements. Go somewhere else if you are so offended.

NSA got the stuff - knew there’d be a good reason for all that phone taping.... IF this is real hand the names over to the New York Times. The implication is it’s some ‘right wingers’ - which is insulting - so put up or shut up...

Death threats to Old Man Bergdahl? Like what - “if you don’t shave off that stupid beard, you will die!”?

I wonder if it’s Obama pranking him.

its not that I believe real threats were made, because that sort of thing just seems to be a convenient excuse, but honestly, did daddy really think he came across as anything but a total off balance jerk?.......a public relations nightmare....
