Syria's embattled president, Bashar al-Assad, was wounded in yesterday's bomb attack which killed the country's top security chiefs, The Guardian reported today. 
 
The report also claimed al-Assad's wife, Asma, had fled to Russia. 
 
Unconfirmed reports claimed that al-Assad had suffered injuries in yesterday's attack which killed his brother-in-law and the deputy chief of the Armed Forces, Assef Shawkat, as well as Defense Minister Dawoud Rahja and Hassan Turkmani, the crisis management chief.
 
Assad was in the coastal city of Latakia, directing a response to the assassination of three of his top lieutenants, opposition sources and a Western diplomat said today, as reported by Reuters.

Assad, who has not made a public appearance since yesterday's bombing, was commanding the government operation, they said. It was not clear whether Assad traveled to the Mediterranean sea resort before or after the attack.
 
Syrian Information Minister Umran al-Zuabi, speaking on state TV yesterday, vowed that those behind the attack would be held accountable even if they were outside the country. 
 
He also said the bombing was orchestrated by Turkish, Qatari, Saudi Arabian and Israeli intelligence.

I can not believe this is happening . Just imagine being able to go from Hewler to Qamisho , :Hasaka and Efrin :-D


I do not think we are hearing the whole story though , because syria has a very strong army and the so called rebels have ZERO chance in beating them unless of course there are unseen forces fighting with them like what happened in Libya .

Regarding the topic, well there is no suprise there, yesterday when I was watching the Syrian media TV channel. They were trying to play it down, even RT which is pro-Russian is reporting it.

So he moved his army to Latakia on the Mediterranean. I hope he will manage to create a Allawite state. This would be positive for us too. A state which with we ca have economic relation by using them as connection to the Mediterranean.
