Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is nowhere to be found in Damascus, a source tells CNN.
The official line of the Syrian president’s office is that Assad hasn’t fled the capital. But a source with knowledge of the situation tells CNN that Assad isn’t at any of the locations in the city where you’d expect to find him.
Assad’s Presidential Guard are no longer deployed at his usual place of residence, as they would be if he was there, the source said, fueling speculation he may have escaped Damascus.
Traditionally, this guard detail would provide Assad’s inner cordon of security, and some of them would be expected to travel with the president when he is on the move.
According to the source, rebel forces have no solid intelligence on Assad’s location and are continuing their efforts to find him.

What? No crouching in his bunker like Adolf did?
When the rats jump ship, you know that the ship’s a goner.
He’s hiding under putlers desk with Yanu.
Just hiding under there, or hiding while engaging in a certain activity?
That doesn’t even warrant thinking about.
Unsee!!! 🙊🚫
