In light of what is going on in Syria, these arrests are a little more then curious. Two Americans arrested in Syria, intimately connected to protests taking place in Syria and coincidentally, or not, Egypt.One an Egyptian with dual US citizenship- (fresh from Tahrir square perhaps?)An Egyptian carrying a United States passport, who had been working in Syria after a secret visit to Israel.The man said on camera that he had "received foreign money for transmitting images and videos about Syria".He said he had been contacted by a Colombian national and had received 100 Egyptian pounds (17 dollars, 12 euros) for each photo sent, and more per video.He added that he had received "e-mails sent from abroad asking if it was possible to transmit video on the (situation) in Syria", where unprecedented protests against the regime have been spreading across the country since March 15.He further stated he had travelled to Israel via Jordan, visiting Jerusalem before returning to Syria.
