Assad Escapes Syria with Russian Intelligence Aid, Granted Asylum in Moscow
Dec 11, 2024, 11:08 AM
Russian intelligence operatives orchestrated the escape of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from Syria, convincing him that he would lose the ongoing conflict against rapidly advancing rebel groups. Assad was transported out of the country via a Russian airbase, with the aircraft's transponder turned off to avoid detection. This operation was confirmed by multiple sources cited by Bloomberg. Russia has now granted asylum to Assad, with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stating that Assad has been moved to Russia 'in the most secure way possible' and is currently residing there. The Assad family is reported to own over 20 apartments in Moscow City, indicating a potential relocation for the ousted president.
