The circumstances surrounding Timmerman's release were not immediately clear, but it is believed that he was among thousands of people released from Syrian prisons following the rebels' capture of Damascus. A group of men in the video assured that Timmerman would be safely returned home.
We will pursue them in Syria, and we ask countries to hand over those who fled so we can achieve justice.
He has made it a priority while he's there to find all Americans wrongfully detained in Syria, including Majd Kamalmaz, Austin Tice and others whose names are not public.
This is a priority for the United States.
We're looking for secret prisons in several areas of Damascus.
I'm feeling well. I've been fed and I've been watered, so I'm feeling well.
He didn't speak much Arabic, so I took him home. He told me he wanted to go to bed. When he woke up, he asked for a fried egg and a boiled egg. I gave him both and some pickled eggplant too, and then I called you.
No update on Austin Tice, except to say that every single day, we are working to find him and to bring him home, making sure that the word is out to everyone that this is a priority for the United States.
