Good to see you.
This is Salam.
He's smartly dressed with thick dark hair and he has this restless energy.
He's asked us not to use his full name because the work he does carries real risks.
If he's identified.
It could put him and others in danger.
When were you in Syria?
In twenty eleven, protests had swept across North Africa and the Middle East.
Dictators fell in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya.
People wanted their freedom and demanded fairer societies.
When the movement reached Syria, President Bashar al-Assad responded with mass imprisonment and murder.
Plunging the country into civil war.
That's what drove Salaam to defect from the Syrian army and join rebel fighters.
He went on to build a network that gathers intelligence on the Syrian regime.
He even has sources inside Assad's security services.
And for years?
He's been searching.
For Austin Tice.
So Salam has information.
that Austin might be alive, and even a location where he could be held.
