Slain reporter's mother worries about Syria pullout impact

The mother of a journalist who was beheaded by the Islamic State in Syria said Monday she's concerned that the U.S. withdrawal from northern Syria will make it more difficult to secure American remains and have access to evidence of that group's crimes. In a conversation with the Committee to Protect Journalists organization, Diane Foley, mother of James Foley, said when troops were in the area, they were able to talk to locals and get information about where possible grave sites might be. James Foley, 40, was beheaded in August 2014 after being kidnapped in 2012, and the video of it posted online.
