U.S. Official: 3 Members Of The 'Taliban 5' Tried To Reconnect With Terror Networks

FOX News: Official: At least 3 members of 'Taliban 5' tried to reconnect with terror networks

EXCLUSIVE: At least three of the five Taliban leaders traded last year for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl have tried to plug back into their old terror networks, a government official familiar with the intelligence told Fox News, describing it as an attempt to "re-engage."

The new allegations come as Bergdahl now faces desertion charges, and as the one-year deal governing the former Guantanamo detainees' supervised release in the Gulf nation of Qatar is set to expire -- at the end of May.

The director of the Defense Intelligence Agency recently told Congress that, after that expiration, all his officers can do is warn the U.S. government if the men return to the battlefield.

WNU Editor: Considering who these men are .... and what they have done .... it is a safe bet that once they leave Qatar they will find a way to return to their old comrades to resume the fight.
