WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — A US serviceman, whose weapons and an identification card were demonstrated by Daesh militants over the weekend, was not captured and is accounted for, a Pentagon official told Sputnik on Monday.
"We can confirm that the soldier in question is with his unit and is not captured despite having lost his ID card and possibly some of his equipment during recent operations," the official stated.
Daesh terrorists showed pictures of two ID cards belonging to American army specialist Ryan Jay Larson, along with US weapons and radio equipment.
The official added that the Defense Department is currently working to determine if all of the equipment in the photos was lost during recent operations, or at some other time in the past.
