AU alumna missing in Lebanon

Two Americans, including one AU alumna, are missing in Lebanon, and the U.S. embassy is appealing for information about their whereabouts, the Associated Press reported.

Holli Chmela, 27, an AU alumna and former Eagle staffer, and Taylor Luck, 23, were en route from Beirut to Tripoli, according to the AP.

The pair were last heard from Oct. 1. They arrived Sept. 29 in Lebanon from Amman, Jordan, and were supposed to return through Syria to Jordan, where they were supposed to work Oct. 4.
