Oct 17, 2013

The Syrian government has turned over to the United Nations a Canadian staffer who went missing eight months ago. The Canadian lawyer Carl Campeau went missing in February in the Damascus area of Khan al-Shih on February 17, 2013. Campeau was able to escape after his room was left unlocked. Terrorists of non-Syrian Arab and Chechen nationalities kidnapped him. He specifically mentioned Saudis, Iraqis, Jordanians, and Chechens as the kidnappers’ nationalities. He also stated that these terrorists view both the Syrian government and the Syrian people as their enemies.
