Travis Pete Timmerman, a 29-year-old American citizen, has been located in Syria after going missing for approximately seven months. He was reportedly imprisoned in Sednaya Prison, a notorious facility, after crossing into Syria illegally on foot while on a Christian pilgrimage. Timmerman was found near Damascus and was released following the recent overthrow of the Assad regime by opposition forces. U.S. military officials confirmed that he was flown out of Syria to Jordan, where he is now in U.S. custody. Reports indicate that Timmerman was treated decently during his imprisonment but could hear other detainees being tortured. His return to safety was coordinated by Syrian opposition forces who handed him over to U.S. military personnel.
