💨 Abstract

The U.S. State Department is continuing efforts to locate American journalist Austin Tice, taken captive in Syria in 2012, but currently has no organization on the ground for the search. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said they are in communication with militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham for assistance in finding Tice, and U.S. President Joe Biden believes Tice is alive.
