The American citizen released from the Syrian prison left this country

According to Isna, an American official who did not want to be named announced on Friday that 29-year-old Travis Timmerman was taken out of Syria by a US military helicopter.

It is not yet clear where Timmerman will go after leaving this country. According to a well-informed source, he has thanked his rescuers but wants to stay in the area.

Timmerman entered Syria in June during a pilgrimage from a mountain near the Lebanese city of Zahle and was then arrested by the security forces.

He told the Associated Press that he was not mistreated during his detention.

When Timmerman was released from prison, he said that he did not know about the existence of other Americans in this prison.
