(CNN) -- As the controversy surrounding Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl release gains growing attention, Bergdahl's family is now the target of recent threats, according to an FBI spokesman.

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl family have received threats following his release after five years in captivity at the hands of the Taliban, an FBI spokesman told CNN on Saturday.

"We are working jointly with our state and local partners and taking each threat seriously," FBI Special Agent William Facer said in an e-mail.

Facer declined to detail the nature and severity of the threats.

Additionally, the military spokesperson for the Bergdahl family emphasized this is a "law enforcement issue."

All the while, a fallen soldier's mother and a former member of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's unit pressed assertions Saturday that troops were killed while searching for him in Afghanistan. Officials say that there is no such evidence.

Well, it certainly didn’t take long for them to claim the “victim status” that progressives view as their due.

I expect the Obama/HOLDER DOJ & their compliant FBI operatives to promote this in coming weeks and months.

Oh, of course they have. And if we don’t release five more Taliban commanders, something terrible could happen, right?

No such evidence? If Obama officials said the sun is shining, many Americans would have to see for themselves.

Threats? We had Islam crashing real planes into the Pentagon and the WTC.

They can stick their threats up their jacksies.

Since the Bin Laden looking daddy is a supporter of Sharia Law, I wonder if his wife complies with his demands

Thank 0bama. He focused all the attention on you and your son to mute scrutiny of the Tollybon Five aspect of this “trade.” Had he kept you out of it your son would be in big trouble but there wouldn’t be anywhere near the public attention on him or you. 0bama has destroyed you and he did it on purpose.

I imagine non-Taliban Afghanis are feeling a bit a threat now themselves.

What is wrong with some of you? When did cheering threats to parents become a conservative value? I don’t care what the political stripes are, these parents should NOT be receiving threats. And saying “I don’t believe it” doesn’t change the fact that it may be happening.

Good Heavens what is happening here? Let’s assume, for sake of argument, that the son is even worse than some claim. Why on EARTH should there be attacks of ANY kind on the parents and why should that be cheered?

I suppose those questions are somewhat rhetorical as any justification is bankrupt before it leaves the lips.

Obama put them in danger (if there is any) when he marched them into the Rose Garden.
