This is terrible news. This guy is a gutsy and smart journalists in every sense of the word. This guy really does the tough hard work. Man I hope he and his partner there are alright. You rarely see people put themselves into their work as much as he does.

i hope that he's ok. i will admit that i am frequently annoyed at the level of
danger NBC allows him to be right in the middle of. i'm sure he believes that reporting the real story from the inside is more important than anything else. however, he has been in some very risky situations that i would never greenlight if i were NBC program director.
I actually agree. Male corespondents but especially female blonde corespondents among a mysogonistic culture that subjegates woman.
The arab spring indeed
What's wrong
with blonde female correspondents? They're my favorite kind of correspondent.
He's safe and out of Syria now.
From NBC.com:
NBC News’ Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel and members of his network production team were freed from captors in Syria after a firefight at a checkpoint on Monday, five days after they were taken prisoner, NBC News said early Tuesday.
“After being kidnapped and held for five days inside Syria by an unknown group, NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel and his production crew members have been freed unharmed. We are pleased to report they are safely out of the country,” the network said in a statement.

Thank God. Now I want to punch him.
I appreciate the update don!
I was very happy to learn this news. Too often such stories have had tragic endings in recent years.
