Armed opposition groups that have completely taken control in Syria have ended the 61-year Ba'ath regime, while Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has left the country following this development. It is claimed that Assad departed the country by plane, and it was reported that the plane last transmitted a signal over the skies of Homs and exhibited "unusual movements." There are concerns that the plane may have crashed.
The Assad regime, as it began to lose control in the capital Damascus and regime-opposition groups started to enter the city center, the claims that Assad may have left Damascus by plane have come to the fore.
Two Syrian army military officials speaking to Reuters stated that Assad took off today to go to an unknown location on Sunday.
HIS TRACE SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED
It was claimed that a plane, which was last seen west of Homs after taking off from the airport in Damascus, carried Bashar Assad but then lost its trace.
"IT MADE UNUSUAL MANEUVERS"
It was reported that the plane, which passed over Homs and fell into the hands of the opposition, descended to 1600 feet before disappearing from radar in the northwest of Homs and made "unusual maneuvers." The plane that lost altitude lost its trace west of Homs.
