Syria dismisses Bashar al-Assad assassination claims
The Syrian government dismissed the reports and blamed social media sites like Twitter and Facebook for allowing the rumour to spread. An official told Russia Today: “It’s not true. Definitely it’s not… It’s ridiculous. And he [Assad] doesn’t have an Iranian bodyguard.” Media who picked up on the story should feel “shame”.

I hope he is dead. The guy has slaughtered 70,000 of his own people.
What?????? you are so ridicoulus!!!
WOW – but would it change things in syria?
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, God is Good, I hope others pay attention to this !
Chaz, how about the other side who started this war. I think they have kill some too, probably about half of the dead. They are led by the muslim brotherhood, the same that now is ruling Egypt, Libya,Tunis and even Turkey. They have killed quite a lot of people from the opposition, some by crucifying them. Good guys these muslim brotherhood.
Can you please change ruuling to ruling, there is just one u in correct english, I missed that/Olli Rein
Done!
assassinations never solve anything, just creates more problems, but since this is unconfirmed I will wait.
