Two American journalists arrested by Syria
Two American journalists who went missing during a vacation in Lebanon eight days ago were arrested Thursday in Syria after they crossed the Lebanese-Syrian border with the help of smugglers, Syrian officials said.
Two American journalists who disappeared earlier this month during a trip across the Middle East said they were abducted by a taxi driver and taken illegally across the Lebanese border into Syria, where they were caught by authorities, locked up and interrogated for a week, according to a report published Friday.
