Unconfirmed reports: Assad shot by his Iranian bodyguard

Share:

assad wont step down 2Online reports of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s death appeared greatly exaggerated Sunday.

Arab media said Assad was purportedly shot by one of his Iranian bodyguards Saturday night and was in serious condition.

He was supposedly taken to Al-Shami Hospital in Damascus, where surrounding roads were closed off.

But online updates said the Syrian leader’s shooting was false and that he was alive and in high spirits. The conflicting reports highlight the chaos that continues to engulf the country, which has been mired in a bloody civil war for two years.

Update: His assassin was identified as Mehdi Jakoby , a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard who was in charge of presidential security.

Ya Libnan will update this report as more information becomes available

This is a developing story more to come

NY Daily News

Update: The reports continue to repeat the same stories. It is very difficult to verify such reports , because the Syrian government has severely restricted access to Syria for foreign journalists.

    this has gone from ridiculous to utterly ridiculous…surely the media has to have some sort of pride and integrity in its reporting? and on the other side we have opposition leaders quitting then not quitting….and so the circus will role on

    Ha Ha Ha Ha, If my memory serves me right, Isn’t this the 5th or 6th time Assad has died. Love the wishful thinking.

          I think the comunity of blog makes a much more useful contribution than most of what the News stories do, except for few articles here and there ,and what Ghassan Karam contribute,which is always valuable. Right Anti?lol

            Anti, debating requires patience and cool heads.Emotion is your biggest enemy when debating and exchanging views,especially with fellow Lebanese. Think of it this way;It’s our impatience and our inability,as a nation and as a society, to listen to each other’s fears and views that got us where we are.
            The whole nation has been “doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results”, as Einstein said that this insanity itself.

That is unless Hannibal gets his hands on me. lol But you right, (again) debating does require patience and cool heads. Maybe I should pass this advise on to my wife. lol

            Fact … Men’s brains stop maturing at age 25 … we continue to be there ‘with the boys’ and looking for the girls forever. 😉 Women, on the other hand, learn to control that. :-)))
            You will stop doing ‘sports’ when the damaged joints begin to remember … take that from a really old fart. 😉
            And that’s it … I’m doing the ‘preservation’ route now ….

            Don’t leap off the couch as soon as you wake up. 😉 Roll off, after you check body parts from toes up … try not to think of bladder on the way … and if you’re already on a floor consider how to get in a position to rise before trying to. Also … there is yoga … slow stretching over to the coffee pot.
            2 cups of that wonderful antioxidant to start the morning, if not the bladder … I figure if you need water, it might as well be flavoured with something good. 🙂

            And a tip for all the guys … (not for profit 😉 … for after-shaving … if you think about it, a good single-malt can be cheaper per ounce than the best after-shaves. Definitley manly, not perfumey. Try it a couple of times – the scent it leaves might have your lady helping to pull you up in the morning. 😉

Mondavi, at one of his wine tasting events, years ago;When ever you’re drinking, You should pinch yourself in a sensitive place after each drink;If you don’t feel the pain,You know you should grab a bottle of water instead of another drink.

            We’re all biased. What the hell? But there has to be some facts to back up the thinking now and then … and I think Ghassan finds many of them .. enough for logical arguments most of the time. And it’s ‘logic’ that Lebanon misses on most of the time.
            Of course, someone will say there is different kinds of logic now …. sigh …

    Yalibnan made itself look ridiculous by posting a title of an “unconfirmed report” to end up telling us that it is a false story. Yalibnan could have put out a “story” about a “false report” that made a big fuzz online, and by doing so, It would have maintained some journalistic integrity,instead of looking unprofessional by posting tabloid news that it knew it was false…….. I understand that propaganda is an open and fair Game,but this propaganda was badly made up ,and it made yalibnan look really its worst.
