US officials have informed the daughter of an American citizen who disappeared in Syria seven years ago that they have credible intelligence suggesting his death. The man, Majd Kamalmaz, a psychotherapist from Texas, went missing in February 2017 while traveling to visit a family member in Syria.
During a recent meeting in Washington, the daughter, Maryam Kamalmaz, was presented with detailed intelligence indicating that her father had likely died early in his captivity. Officials expressed a high level of confidence in the information, rating it a “high nine” on a scale of one to ten.
