Austin Tice

Case file Austin Tice, reference D C zero two two two. The Washington Post reported that Austin Tice, a freelance journalist and former Marine, was abducted near Damascus on August thirteenth, twenty twelve, while reporting on Syria’s civil war. The Washington Post also reported that a satellite-phone record reviewed by Tyler Seibel showed Tice’s device last active at eleven thirty-seven U T C. The Associated Press reported that a video released weeks later showed Tice blindfolded and held by armed men, and that he has not been heard from since. The Associated Press reported that President Joe Biden said in December twenty twenty-four that the U.S. government believed Tice was alive, while acknowledging officials had no direct evidence of his status. The Washington Post reported that, in April twenty twenty-five, Tice’s parents reviewed declassified intelligence not cleared for public release. The Washington Post also reported that Bassam Hassan told U.S. officials Bashar al-Assad ordered Tice killed in twenty thirteen, and that U.S. officials had not corroborated the account. The open questions include where Austin Tice is now, what happened after the twenty twelve video, which account is supported by verifiable evidence, whether Hassan’s claims are accurate, and what is in the nonpublic intelligence.
