A pro-Taliban website has published a video claiming to show the five Taliban terrorist released from Guantanamo Bay arriving in Qatar to hugs from their awaiting comrades. The Obama administration is receiving criticism for the deal that swapped the five terrorism suspects for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who the Taliban had held hostage since 2009.
The Taliban has previously demanded those five hostages be released before peace talks could begin. Mullah Mohammad Fazl, Taliban army chief of staff and Mullah Norullah Noori a senior Taliban military commander are both wanted by the UN for war crimes including the murder of thousands of Shiites.
