American Journalist Held Hostage in Syria, 2012 - 2014 - Theo Padnos

Held hostage for nearly two years, Theo Padnos blames himself for his ordeal.

Taken hostage in Syria and held by the Nusra Front, which is allied to al-Qaeda, American journalist Theo Padnos was beaten and abused for nearly two years. He says the most bitter moment of his captivity was the realisation that it was he himself who was mostly responsible for his ordeal.
