Missing American (29) found in Damascus after months in Syrian prison: ‘I was treated well’

Pete Travis Timmerman (29), an American pilgrim who had been missing for months, was found on Thursday in a suburb of the Syrian capital Damascus. The man was locked up in an isolation cell in a Syrian prison for months and was only recently released when rebels ousted President Assad. “I was never beaten, but I heard how others were tortured,” he testifies.
