SNIPPET: “HAILEY, Idaho - Hailey Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl is still believed to be the only American soldier held-hostage by the Taliban.
But now, the Daily Beast, an offshoot of Newsweek Magazine, is reporting that Bergdahl tried to escape from his captors a few months ago by jumping out of a first-floor window of a house made of brick and mud while in Pakistan.”
SNIPPET: “Marsano said he has no idea whether the story contains any truth and nothing has been confirmed through the military.”
