Syrian Regime Planned American Journalist's Kidnapping for Weeks, NPR Reports
New reporting indicates the Syrian government orchestrated a weeks-long plot to abduct journalist Austin Tice.
According to NPR's investigation, the Syrian regime deliberately planned the kidnapping of American journalist Austin Tice over an extended period rather than as a spontaneous act. The reporting suggests government involvement in the abduction, which occurred during Syria's civil conflict.
Tice, a freelance journalist, has been missing since 2012. The new findings add to ongoing efforts to determine the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and hold those responsible accountable.
