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–
The House of Saud pretends to be our friends, and takes our goodwill and funnels it to fund Wahabbism. They keep their friends close, and their enemies even closer.
Saw this on FB but didn’t think it was true.
Where on FB?
Lol
Don’t remember. Was just scrolling down and saw someone had posted it. I went to FR and Fox and didn’t see anything so I figured it was just a rumor. Checked ABC, too, and didn’t see anything. I was at work so didn’t think much about it as I was busy. Home now and very curious about what the truth is and how long it will take to find out.
Israel’s News1 is reporting now that Assad was shot by a bodyguard.
As gun guru Jeff Cooper commented upon completing the training of a Middle Eastern leader’s team of bodyguards (paraphrased): “I know they are well trained and capable, but how well do you know them?”
Have a link? Found one from Israel earlier saying basically the same but had it unverified.
Israel’s News1 is reporting now that Assad was shot by a bodyguard.
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
Update: According to Arab media www.eltira.org, Bashar al-Assad has been seriously wounded by gunfire last night Saturday, March 23 by his Iranian bodyguard but is not dead. He is currently hospitalized, between life and death, in Shami Hospital in Damascus. Surrounding streets have been closed.
Proprietary information (in France): According to reports in the Arab press (and then republished in the Israeli press), journalists say they have “verified” the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was killed this morning by one of his bodyguards. A security detail has been set up at the hospital in Damascus.

The assassin of Boucher Damascus is his Iranian bodyguard, a military officer named Mehdi Jakoby. He was in charge of presidential security and was provided by allies in Tehran.
According to various sources, there are reports of heavy fighting in any armed Damascus. The roads leading to the hospital have been closed.

Nothing yet on CNN, BBC or Al Jazeera.

I was thinking along the same lines — OR maybe they have some other news for tonight they WANT us to hear — like the Cyprus Miracle for markets opening soon, or that Duke lost NCAA (or have they already).
There are some 3,000 "Princes of the Blood" who are the top dogs in the KSA. Each has a business advisor, usually, would you believe, an Iranian. The KSA is run like Tony Soprano runs Northern New Jersey. Every Prince has a piece of the action, a crew, and a territory. There's a Taco-Bell Prince, a McDonald's Prince, a KFC Prince, a Ford Prince, a Mercedes Prince. One hotshot Prince runs the Navy. Another the AF, Another the Army, another the National Guard, another the Religious Police, Another the Intelligence Service, the Phoneco, yadda yadda yadda. ... none of whom are on the same page, but somewhat coordinated. Underneath the Princes of the Blood is another club of minor princes, dividing up whatever loot is left over.
So on any given day, the "government" of the KSA can support terrorists and claim to be waging all-out war against them. Both cases are 100% true. One Prince gives millions to bloodthirsty Imams. Another Prince gives millions to a hospital. Arabs don't think they lie, the guy talking just tells you some of what he thinks you might need to know about what HE might be doing, at the moment.
In my dealings in the KSA, where I worked for a long while, my model was "Colombo," "Just one more question, Mam." And Eliot Ness. Checkers doesn't work when the worthy oriental gentlemen are playing high level chess! Also, once you realize that nothing is going to happen until ALL the relevant princes are happy, it's interesting.
