Probe of Bergdahl capture by Taliban complete, under Army review
WASHINGTON Tue Oct 14, 2014 6:55pm EDT
(Reuters) - An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the capture of Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl by Taliban militants in Afghanistan has been completed, but it is unclear when the military will finish its report, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
Pentagon spokesman Army Colonel Steve Warren said Major General Kenneth Dahl had submitted his initial report to the military chain of command for review. Warren said there was no way of telling when the review process would be completed.
The Pentagon appointed Dahl to investigate the case, determine if Bergdahl had broken military rules and recommend punishment if appropriate.
"The investigating officer has done his work but now that work is moving through the Army system, and at each stop ... there will ... be questions, requirements for clarification," Warren told reporters. "So it's working its way through the system as would any other investigation."
