five detainees and we'll get to it all beginning with white house correspondent jim avila on the mission to pick up that american soldier years after we first heard that voice. >> the lone american prisoner of war who warned -- wandered away in june of 2009 was held by the taliban. but has beaten the odds in his own worst fare -- fears. >> release me, please. i'm begging you. >> reporter: today bergdahl was freed and released in a complicated three-party prisoner exchange. one american sergeant in return for five afghan taliban prisoners. some of them, al qaeda sympathizers. all formerly held in cuba. the negotiations conducted in secret with the mid east allie qatar acting as a go-between for the americans. so the u.s. did not deal directly with the taliban. qatar has agreed to take the afghans in its custody to deny them travel outside their

country for at least one year. bergdahl's risky turnover happening in the dead of night along the afghanistan/pakistan border. with no shots fired. a small group of u.s. special forces landing in helicopters and met by 18 taliban fighters. holding sergeant bergdahl who is described in good condition and able to walk. his family appearing with the president in the rose garden late today. >> thank you so much. we just can't communicate the words this morning when we heard from the president. >> reporter: the only reaction from sergeant bergdahl himself came because of a noise he was given a pen with which he scribbled the letters ff for special forces. the soldiers yelled back yes and told him we have been looking for you for a long time. it was then the last american captive of the afghan war broke down and cried.

>> just incredible he wrote those letters as they were picking him up. jim, do we know where bowe bergdahl is tonight? >> he'll be taken to germany receiving more med cam attention and then 24 to 48 hours we expect him to be back home in the area in san antonio, texas where he'll meet with his family. >> then the reunion they're waiting for. as you heard jim report, bergdahl's family, his hometown never giving up. how that town is reacting. right down to the owner of the local diner who describes the moment they learned their native son was free. abc's david wright on that part of the story tonight. >> reporter: for five years now this small idaho town has had yellow ribbons for bowe bergdahl. >> my name is bowe bergdahl. >> reporter: private first class when the taliban set out this video. he's been promoted twice in captivity. >> release me. please. >> reporter: family back home greeting each new video with

mixed emotions relief that the proof of life but concern about the hell he's been in. >> a father does not leave his son alone on the battle field. i do not live here. i live in afghanistan. my cell phone is set on afghan time. my weather is afghan weather. >> reporter: bob berghahl started growing his own beard in solidarity with his son. he taught himself pashto, too. >> my son -- if you can hear me, you are part of the peace process. >> reporter: hoping to communicate with his son's taliban captors. but for his mom these five years have been agony. >> bowe, we love you. we support you and eagerly awaiting your return home. i love you, my son, as i have from the first moment i heard of you. with the never-ending unconditional love a mother has

for her child. >> reporter: officials say his family will finally get to see him at brook army medical center in texas. back home in idaho, every lamppost has a sign for the annual bring back bowe rally. so does the coffee shop where he worked as a kid. the reaction there -- ecstatic. >> everybody stopped eating and watched. we have a tv up in the corner. everybody looked and there was some -- a little bit of applause and some cheers. everybody is real excited about it. >> reporter: turns out the rally won't be cancelled. everyone is hoping it will be a coming home party. david wright, abc news, los angeles. >> a coming home they all deserve. after waiting so many years. thank you. and as we have reported here, this was part of an exchange. the white house agreeing to let those five detainees leaving. who are they and where will they end up? reporting from pakistan tonight. >> reporter: some of the highest ranking taliban commanders. in american custody. so dangerous.

they have been held for over a decade. among the five men, mullah fazel mohammed, the taliban's former army chief. in 2008, a leaked u.s. army report labeled him high risk saying if he was released he would, quote, "likely rejoin the taliban". another, abdul haq waseek, helped run the taliban's intelligence ministry during their reign of terror in the 1990s. the department of defense describing him as having direct access to taliban leader, mullah omar. he was high up in the hierarchy, he used his own home as a safe house. for other militants. even if all five detainees stay in qatar for a year, critics in congress and beyond are sure to pounce and asking if the price was just too high. releasing terrorists who can some day once again put more american lives at risk. muhammad lila, abc news, pakistan. >> thank you. and we'll have much more throughout the night at abcnews.com and first thing in the morning on "good morning america." and on this week with george.

mickelson. >> if some friend told him it would be a good idea, a good time to invest in clorox, if he has no idea where that information is coming from, it's not insider trading. >> reporter: today mickelson faced the press after the tournament. >> i have done nothing wrong. that's why i have been fully cooperating with the fbi agents and i'm happy to do so in the future, too. >> reporter: ikon said the same. telling the new york times that to suggest he did anything wrong is quote, irresponsible. billy walters had no comment. and tonight abc news is learning no arrests are imminent. investigators say they are still in the evidence-gathering phase. as you just heard, the burden of proof, very high here. >> always great to have you with us on a weekend. now still unfolding tonight. the l.a. clippers about to have a new owner. he's paying $2 billion for the team. tonight in his own words why he believes his investment

will pay off as we now hear of a move from donald sterling. but will it make a difference? abc in california. >> reporter: the surprising and sudden fate of the los angeles clippers being sold for a price of $2 billion. former microsoft ceo steve ballmer signed the lucrative agreement with donald sterling's wife, shelley. but despite the team's pending sale, the lawsuits aren't over yet. donald sterling's lawyer says his client is suing the nba for $1 billion in damages. >> donald sterling is now essentially suing himself. >> reporter: that's because his wife agreed that she and the family's trust would be responsible for any judgments against the nba. >> if donald sterling wins in a court of law, he's going to cost himself a lot of money. i'm not sure what the point is. >> reporter: the nba says the suit is baseless. the sale pending approval from

its board of governors. that $2 billion offer is nearly four times the previous record price for an nba team. the milwaukee bucs went for $550 million this year. ballmer says he looks at the clippers the same way he does tech companies. >> when you buy a tech company, you don't say what is it. you say what can we turn it into. >> reporter: paying for potential. the clippers never won a championship but their future is looking up. >> i have a big bold dream for the clippers and that's to win. >> reporter: ballmer's bid surpassed others including celebrity investors, oprah one of them. saying today she was disappointed but her advisors told her it would not be a good business investment. david. >> thank you. tonight there is a search underway in the west for six climbers missing on washington's mt. rainier. the helicopter search is now focused on the northwest shoulder what's called the liberty ridge area.

so complete shock. >> reporter: in 2010, a volcano in iceland stranded travelers around the world for weeks. the good news this time, there are fewer flights in that area. but if the eruption continues, that ash could spread causing even more chaos. abc news, london. >> thank you. tonight a look at rare images few of us have seen of the apollo teams practicing before their mission so many years ago. take a look at these released photos. showing the astronauts training in hawaii to go to the moon. here driving a lunar on the big island. here wearing t-shirts and sunglasses. one scooping up some of the soil another strapped to a video camera. the rocky landscape looking like the moon. but of course, nothing can replace the real thing. much more ahead on "world news" this saturday night. on the scene of that giant sinkhole. just a few hundred feet away from a popular theme park. so many families pulling into the parking lot just a few hours
