DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — An American who says he crossed into Syria on foot has been released after seven months in detention.
Travis Timmerman told the Al-Arabiya TV network in an interview on Thursday that he had been treated well. He said he had crossed into Syria from Lebanon on a religious pilgrimage.
He appeared in videos circulating online earlier in the day in which rebels said they had located him and were keeping him safe.
