Taliban keep US soldiers captive

In Afghanistan, Taliban militants claimed to have captured two US soldiers and are holding them in southern Logar province. International Security Assistance Force, ISAF said in a statement that two of their soldiers left their compound in Kabul City in a vehicle on Friday afternoon and did not return. It said, the unit dispatched vehicles and aircraft to search for them and their vehicle, and the search is still on. The ISAF issued local radio broadcast appeals offering reward for information leading to the safe release of the two. A Taliban spokesman told Reuters that three ISAF servicemen had been captured but one had died. Another US soldier is under Taliban captivity for more than a year now.
