Official: Bergdahl Says He Was Tortured and Held in a Cage by Taliban
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has told people treating him at a U.S. military medical facility in Germany that he was tortured, beaten and held in a cage by his Taliban captors in Afghanistan after he tried to escape, a senior U.S. official said Sunday.

The official said it was difficult to verify the accounts Bergdahl has given since his release a week ago....
