Analysts Say Video of American Held in Syria May Have Been Staged

By ROBERT MACKEY
Analysts have questioned the authenticity of video posted on YouTube last week, apparently showing the American reporter Austin Tice in the hands of Islamist fighters in Syria.

Video posted on YouTube five days ago, apparently showing a missing American journalist in the hands of jihadist captors in Syria, may have been staged to discredit the armed opposition to the Syrian government, according to several analysts who viewed the clip on Monday.

He last communicated with colleagues by e-mail on Aug. 13.
