The American Archbishop Missing in Syria

Family speaks out for the first time

United States officials are once again intensifying efforts to uncover the fate of Austin Tice, an American journalist and former Marine who vanished in Syria in 2012. While Mr. Tice’s case has drawn sustained diplomatic attention; there are at least four American citizens believed to still be missing in the wake of the long-running conflict.

This includes Mor Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim, a Syriac Orthodox Archbishop and dual American-Syrian national. He disappeared in Syria in 2013.
