Freed US citizen in Syria is pilgrim Travis Timmerman, not missing journalist Austin Tice [Video]

On Thursday a US citizen was found in Syria, with social media posts reporting him to be journalist Austin Tice, who has been missing since 2012 whilst reporting on the Syrian war. The man was, however, later named as pilgrim Travis Timmerman, who wandered into Syria on foot for spiritual reasons and has spent the last 7 months in prison there. Vedika Bahl explains what we know about both men, in this edition of Truth or Fake.
