Soldier Captured In Afghanistan

Posted By McQ

Some very disturbing news:

A U.S. soldier missing from his base in eastern Afghanistan since Tuesday is believed to have been captured by Taliban militants, the military said Thursday.

In a statement issued from U.S. military headquarters in Kabul, officials said "we are exhausting all available resources to ascertain his whereabouts and provide for his safe return."

Military officials in Afghanistan, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation, said the soldier appears to have walked off his base into an unsecured area. It was not clear why he had apparently done so.

Another report says he was captured along with 3 Afghan guards (that report has not been confirmed).

Prayers are appropriate.
