Freed American Journalist Stays in Tel Aviv
Lesson Brief
Walla
On August 25, Walla reported on Peter Curtis' release from Jabhat al-Nusra, a branch of al-Qaeda in Syria. His 22 month captivity ended with mediation from Qatar and was conducted on a humanitarian basis. The terms of his return have been vague, and while the American government has not paid for his return, it is possible that another intermediary did so instead.
