Debra Tice, mother of missing Marine veteran and American journalist Austin Tice, has returned to Syria to search for her son who was taken captive in August 2012.
"They are thinking about what they need to do, making suggestions, standing ready, having ideas. The burden isn’t on me the way it has been in the past," Tice told Fox News Digital, referring to the Trump administration. Rachel Wolf is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.
The Marine veteran’s mother’s first trip back to Damascus, Syria, in over 10 years comes on the heels of a revolution within the war-torn country. Debra Tice has been in Syria for only a few days, but she has already managed to meet with the country’s de facto leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who led the group that overthrew Bashar al-Assad.
"It was really quite a surprise that we were able to get a meeting with al-Sharaa. It was a very good meeting," Tice said.
