Bashar al-Assad, the former President of Syria, has fled to Russia amid escalating threats to his regime. Reports indicate that Russian intelligence agents orchestrated his escape, utilizing a flight from a Russian military base in Syria while disabling radar systems to avoid detection. Assad had reportedly been planning this move for years as the rebel forces approached Damascus. Following his departure, Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded an investigation into the intelligence failures that allowed the threat to Assad's regime to go unnoticed until it was too late. Assad's current whereabouts in Russia remain undisclosed.
