Le pouvoir syrien d'Ahmad al-Chareh a accepté d'aider les Etats-Unis à retrouver les Américains disparus pendant la guerre civile en Syrie, a indiqué dimanche un émissaire américain. Cette annonce est intervenue au lendemain de la levée formelle par les Etats-Unis des sanctions imposées à la Syrie sous l'ex-président Bachar al-Assad, renversé en décembre par une coalition de groupes rebelles islamistes dirigée par M. Chareh.
