New information about journalist Austin Tice

The head of an American organization specializing in hostage release issues announced that he believes that American journalist Austin Tice is still being held in Syria by loyalists of the ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

In his statements to Reuters while he was in Damascus, Nizar Zakka added that Tice is being held by “a very small number of people in a safe house, with the aim of conducting an exchange or deal.”

Zakka added that investigations conducted by the organization showed that Tice is still in Syria, noting that “a lot of progress” has been made in trying to find him in recent weeks.
