Defence official: Bergdahl scheduled to arrive in Texas on Friday from Germany

WASHINGTON – A U.S. defence official says released captive Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is scheduled to arrive at a military medical centre in Texas on Friday.

The official, who spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because the plan has not been publicly announced, declined to provide details. Officials had previously said the intention was for Bergdahl to be reunited with his family at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.

Bergdahl was released from Taliban captivity on May 31 and has been recuperating at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany since June 1. He was deployed in eastern Afghanistan when he disappeared in June 2009.
