U.S. journalist missing weeks after kidnap
BEIRUT -- An American journalist has been missing in Syria since he was kidnapped more than a month ago, his family said Wednesday, less than two years after he was held by government forces in Libya while covering that civil war.
The family of James Foley, of Rochester, N.H., said he was kidnapped in northwest Syria by gunmen on Thanksgiving Day.
Foley, 39, has worked in Syria, Libya and Iraq. He was contributing videos to Agence France-Presse while in Syria. Foley and another journalist were working in the northern province of Idlib when they were kidnapped near the village of Taftanaz.
Media outlets refrained from reporting on Foley's kidnapping until his family made a statement. -- AP
