American Travis Timmerman Found in Syria After Months of Imprisonment

Travis Timmerman, a 29-year-old American, was discovered wandering in southern Damascus after being released following seven months in prison. He entered Syria illegally from Lebanon for what he described as a spiritual pilgrimage. Timmerman reassured reporters that he faced no mistreatment during his captivity. His release comes amid the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, sparking hope among families of other missing Americans, including journalist Austin Tice.
