Syrian President Assad Assassinated By Own Bodyguard?

I wouldn't post it if I didnt think it true. Egg on my face if it's only propaganda. Sources are scarce but seem to be growing and I will post them as I find them. So what will this mean if it is true? Radical muslims control the majority of the middle east now? I see a lot of hype that it will trigger ww3. Not sure how that would be any different that Egypt and Libya doing it. The 1st link is the original arab media source. Unfortunately, I can neither read nor translate the page. Aside from the title thread, I would really like to know why Ronald Reagans picture is on the homepage.
Admins plz delete if this turns out to be a propaganda story.

Various reports published that Assad al-Shami was rushed to the hospital and in serious condition. עוד דווח על מהומה גדולה שהתפתחה סביב לבית החולים וכי כל הדרכים המובילות אל בית החולים נחסמו על-ידי צבא סוריה. Also reported the big fuss that has developed around the hospital and that all roads leading to the hospital were blocked - by the Syrian army. עוד דווח על כוחות צבא גדולים שנמצאים בתוך בית החולים. Also reported large military forces are in the hospital.

If true I have to wonder, was it a lone wolf action or was the perp a paid assassin who just made a small fortune in his overseas account? Who paid for what; hell of allot cheaper than an evasion.......?

Update: According to Arab media www.eltira.org , Bashar al-Assad would have been seriously wounded by gunfire last night Saturday, March 23 by his bodyguard but Iran is not dead. He is currently hospitalized, between life and death, Shami Hospital in Damascus which the streets were closed.t

Crazy if true.

The ripple effect of such an acti

Crazy if true.

WHAT? Seriously? This isn't anywhere in the MSM. What is going on?
I would think that if this had happened, we'd be hearing more about it.
Unless Syria was trying to keep it quiet ....
(which I think would be impossible)

If this is true, it's the breaking story of the week. Time will tell.

If true, they better be praying that he dies quickly.

This is nowhere in the msm, but will really alter the situation in the Middle East if true.
Thanks OP, if true, great find.

One to watch very carefully.

This must be a lie. If true it would be all over the MSM.

Death to him I hope. No man stands above the people. He should have left to live a nice wealthy life on a beach somewhere but decided in arogance to fight and kill his own.

This is just like a movie, it has a well written plot. How is this not on CNN, BBC, or any other stations?

You have more faith in the MSM than it deserves. There has been many news stories not covered by the MSM until verified, which this hasn't been. And even then, God only knows what the real truth may be.

Add me to the list of "can't find verification." If true, Mid East Tweets would be going crazy. Well all have to wait and see if this is verified--any place.

I think I am going to need much better "sources" than this. I am leaning towards not true, but time will tell I guess....

Arab Report: Assad's assassination

Assad. Is assassinated by a bodyguard? [Photo: AP]
On - according to Arab media reports that have been verified - officials assassinated by his bodyguard of Syrian President life Heavy security around the hospital a - my mother in Damascus and in-hospital

If this is true I imagine it would leak within the next few hours. At the very least our intelligence agencies would (should) know and it would leak out of Washington. Rumors and conspiracy theories are extremely prevalent in the Middle East (sort of like ATS) it would not make sense for a person or group to assinate Assad then not have a mechanism to claim credit for the attack.
