Theo Padnos

HARDtalk's Zeinab Badawi speaks to American journalist Theo Padnos. From October 2012 to August 2014 he was held hostage in Syria by the Nusra Front, which is allied to Al Qaeda. He was beaten, abused - not knowing from day to day whether he would be shot or spared by his captors. But was he the victim of his own actions: he says the most bitter moment of his captivity was the realisation that it was he himself who was mostly responsible for his ordeal.
