Nonproliferat Subcommittee on Terrorism

Opis

The purpose of this hearing is to hear more about Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl and his exchange for five terrorist prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. Releasing five senior Taliban commanders may put the lives of our senior service members and Americans around the world at risk. One of the five detainees was a Deputy Chief of the Taliban's Intelligence Service. One detainee fought alongside al-Qaeda as a Taliban Military General. Another was a Senior Commander wanted by the United Nations for war crimes and worked closely with al-Qaeda and their affiliates. And still another was a close confidante of Taliban Leader Mullah Omar. The Haqqani Network are the ones who held Sergeant Bergdahl. It's a designated foreign terrorist organization according to the United States State Department and has killed countless Americans and Afghan soldiers. It maintains close ties with al-Qaeda and it's the most dangerous terrorist group fighting in Afghanistan.
