Any Democrat could have told Assad that he’s didn’t need security in the first place - he could have just written some gun control laws... works every time. /s
Nothing yet on CNN, BBC or Al Jazeera.
????
"Assad was rushed to the A-Shami Hospital in Damascus, where a riot broke out as Syrian troops blocked access to the hospital."
"Syrian television shut down while awaiting news of Assad's fate."
OK another site, in Hebrew no less, says Assad fired a security guard.......................
They already hired one of Sadam Husain's torture doctors:
A doctor involved in treating Iraqis who were tortured during Saddam Hussein's regime could be banned from working for the NHS.
Dr Mohammed Kassim Al-Byati worked for the Iraqi Intelligence Agency, which was responsible for torturing numerous Iraqis.
He has admitted his role was to treat victims' injuries so they could face torture again.
Today Dr Al-Byati, who is in his 40s, will appear before Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel, which will decide whether he is fit to continue practising in the UK.
A spokesman said: "The Panel will inquire into the allegation that between December 1992 and March 1994, Dr Al-Byati visited camps and prisons in his capacity as a doctor in Iraq.
"It is alleged that during these visits and whilst administering treatment, Dr Al-Byati knew that some prisoners he treated had sustained injuries as a result of torture, and it was likely that the prisoners would be tortured again.
It must be the fault of the Joooooos!
Considering all the money in Saudi Arabia and how badly they want his deposed, It would not be surprising to see someone in a position of trust to be “bought” to perform an assassination.
The civil war in Syria is a proxy war between two factions of Islam fronted by Iran and the Saudis. This civil war is not about freedom, it is about religion.
Holy Shi’ite, Batman! That’s gonna look really bad on his resume!
Assassination shooting of Bashar al-Assad and chemical weapons being used in Syria, Egypt exploding in massive riots, North Korea signaling imminent invasion......
Good thing our own Defense Department is so broken it cannot even make payroll.
So much confusion, but it must be terrorism. I’m going to take a shower. Will check back later.
Maybe Assad accidentally killed someone the bodyguard knew?
That’s the problem with being a bloodthirsty animal. Sometimes you go overboard...
Never trust an islamist. Not ever.
Shades of Indira Ghandi betrayed by Sikh bodyguards
Et tu, Brute?
Assad assassination
Well is he dead? Sounds like a fish story to me?
Hecky durn. Who would of thought that, could happen? Dang.
That bodyguard is facing a long, slow, painful end to his life unless he turned the gun on himself afterwards.
