The family of the Syrian-American engineer Ahmed Takla appealed for help in finding him after his abduction on September 21 near the city of Hasya in the countryside of Homs, central Syria.
Activists reported that Takla, a member of the Alawite community, was kidnapped near the industrial city by gunmen in military uniforms who later demanded a ransom of $600,000.
Takla had recently returned from the United States to Syria after believing that the situation had become more stable, before he was kidnapped.
