Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Dressed in all white with a striped shawl across his shoulders, the gaunt-looking American looks up at the Black Hawk chopper circling overhead.

Armed Taliban men stand around him, one with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher ready.

When the chopper lands, the American is led there by two men, one carrying a white flag. He is given a patdown, loaded on to the helicopter and whisked away.

A new video released by the Taliban showed the final moments ofArmy Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's five years in captivity, just before he was handed over to the United States.

The narration on the video says the transfer took place in Khost province, in eastern Afghanistan.
