A plausible reason for this story is perhaps that it’s disinformation created by the rebels to sow confusion and distrust among the loyalists, with the secondary motivation of turning Syrian loyalists against Iranian helpers.

Just sayin, don’t know.

Hello Peter...Yes, there are many events happening currently with resignation of the rebels leader prior to this supposed news of Assad's death or attempted..... Then adding Obama’s visit there, and the soon following rockets from Israel into Syria...one does ponder these events and can arrive at several possibilities of what's happening.

Below video of Israel's rockets hitting Syria....from RT.

Very good point. We are also seeing a new story about Allawites in the Syrian military trying to rebel against Assad. Of course the stories never stated just how many were rebelling. Half a dozen ? We saw the same type of pile on drive by stories the last time Obama tried to assassinate Assad.
