AL HASAKAH, Syria (BHN) - A missing American CEO of a popular online news site has turned up in a remote Syrian town in the company of a radical Muslim rebel organization.
Scooter Van Neuter, owner and editor in chief of Big Hairy News, reportedly gave no indication to family or coworkers that he was joining the rebels. The newsman had been missing for two days when a photograph showing him with the rebels and several unidentified females was shown on a French television news story about 'sexual jihad' being waged by Tunisian women.
A U.S. State Department spokesperson told reporters, "We don't know why he (Van Neuter) left, or if he's even a Muslim - it's all a mystery. We definitely want to talk to Mr. Van Neuter."
More on this mysterious case as it develops.
