American Freed from Syrian Prison After Assad's Fall Flown to Jordan by U.S. Military

Travis Timmerman, detained during a Christian pilgrimage, was released after Syrian rebels overthrew Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Travis Timmerman, 29, was freed from Syria's notorious Palestine Branch prison after seven months of detention during a Christian pilgrimage.
His release followed the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime, toppled by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham rebel group earlier this week.
U.S. military forces transported Timmerman to Jordan, where he is now in the custody of State Department officials.
Timmerman stated he was not mistreated during his imprisonment but described hearing the torture of other detainees in the facility.
The U.S. continues efforts to locate other missing Americans in Syria, including journalist Austin Tice, who disappeared in 2012.
