    U.S. Senator John McCain was photographed during a trip to Syria with a man implicated in the kidnapping by Syrian rebels of 11 Lebanese Shi'ite pilgrims a year ago. McCain, a Republican, has been an outspoken advocate for U.S. military aid to the rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad. McCain has insisted that the United States could locate the "right people" to help among rebel ranks. However, he may have crossed paths with men linked to a group notorious in the region for kidnapping pilgrims.
