Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reports that Engel, together with Turkish journalist Aziz Akyavaş, were last known to be in Syria and haven't been in contact with NBC News since Thursday morning.

My Comment: Richard Engel (NBC) and Arwa Damon (CNN) are the two reporters that I follow very closely on Syria. Both of them are there, and they are reporting from some very very very dangerous locations. I actually noticed on Saturday that Engel was not reporting anything from Syria .... so I assumed that he was getting out of the country. Apparently that is not the case. Even though the news that Richard Engel is missing is already "out there", NBC has made it clear that they do not want any additional reporting on any new developments .... which this blog will respect.
