American Released From Syrian Prison After ‘Pilgrimage’
After several months without contact, missing Missouri man Travis Timmerman was located in Syria, where he’d been imprisoned after entering the country on a self-described pilgrimage. U.S. military officials subsequently airlifted him to Jordan, a development confirmed by his family and Syrian authorities. Timmerman, who had previously traveled through Eastern Europe, reportedly told news outlets he’d been detained for seven months before being released following recent political upheaval in Damascus. His family expressed immense relief at his safe return.
