BBC调查发现,美国和黎巴嫩当局正在资助和保护因战争罪被国际通缉的叙利亚前将军巴萨姆·哈桑1。哈桑曾监管叙利亚化学武器项目并担任阿萨德政权高级顾问1。在2024年阿萨德政权倒台后,哈桑逃往黎巴嫩1。
美国FBI与黎巴嫩当局达成协议,为哈桑提供居住地、保护和生活费用1。据信该协议在2025年春季达成1。美国与哈桑合作的主要目的是获取关于2012年失踪美国记者奥斯汀·蒂斯的信息1。为了隐蔽资金来源,美国通过中间人向哈桑提供款项1。
叙利亚新政府官员已要求将哈桑遣返受审1,但表示无力对美国施压1。蒂斯家族发言人批评美国政府利用纳税人资金支持与化学武器使用相关的人员,称这是"令人厌恶的"1。据报道,涉及蒂斯案件的多名叙利亚前政权官员目前据信在黎巴嫩、阿联酋等地获得庇护1。
A BBC investigation has uncovered that the United States and Lebanese authorities are funding and protecting Bassam Hassan, a former Syrian general sought internationally for war crimes 1. Hassan, who oversaw Syria's chemical weapons program and served as a senior advisor to the Assad regime, fled to Lebanon following the regime's collapse in 2024 1.
According to the investigation, American authorities reached an agreement with Hassan in spring 2025, providing him with housing, security, and living expenses in exchange for information about the 2012 disappearance of American journalist Austin Tice 1. The arrangement channels funds through intermediaries to complicate financial tracking 1. However, Syria's new government has called for Hassan's extradition for trial, though officials acknowledged their inability to pressure the United States on the matter 1.
Hassan has claimed that Tice was executed and indicated the location of remains, but subsequent searches yielded no evidence 1. A spokesperson for the Tice family characterized the arrangement as "abhorrent," stating that taxpayer money should not support individuals connected to chemical weapons use 1. Multiple other former Syrian regime officials implicated in the Tice case are reportedly receiving protection in Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, and elsewhere 1.
