Bashar al-Assad flees Syria for Russia

NPR  

Bashar al-Assad flees Syria for Russia SCOTT DETROW, HOST: Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, has fled the country, according to his closest ally, Russia. Opposition rebels took Syria's capital this weekend, and their controversial leader arrived in Damascus just hours after Assad vanished, greeting cheering supporters at the city's ancient mosque. What we have seen, though, is crowds of people in the streets of Damascus hugging, crying, celebrating, toppling statues of Assad and his father, Hafez, firing guns in the air in celebration, also breaking into the palaces of ousted leaders, filming themselves in hidden bunkers, going through Assad's closets and taking clothes. You know, there's several multisectarian councils that have been popping up across the country, even in the coastal region around Lattakia, which was the heartland of Assad's support.
