SUMMARY: Travis Timmerman, originally from Urbana, Missouri, was reported missing in Budapest but was found walking barefoot in Damascus, Syria. He entered Syria illegally as a pilgrim. The discovery follows the recent overthrow of the Bashar al-Assad regime, highlighting the uncertainty that often accompanies such political changes. Political science professor Daniel Bennett notes that while there’s hope for freedom, a power vacuum can lead to instability. U.S. officials have made initial contact with Timmerman and are working to bring him home. He reportedly escaped from prison when rebels liberated Damascus.
