•Deposed President Bashar Al-Assad of Syria
Deposed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who fled after Syrian capital, Damascus, fell to rebels yesterday, arrived in Moscow and was granted an asylum along with his family members.
After leaving the country in a Russian aircraft, Assad’s destination was immediately unknown as the plane was reportedly out of radar.
But, Russian news agency reported last night that Assad was in Moscow, citing sources in the Kremlin, according to a report by the BBC.
The report added that Assad and his family have been granted asylum by Russia.
However, the BBC said it could not independently confirm the report.
