Translated from JSS News:

According to Arab media www.eltira.org , Bashar al-Assad would have been seriously wounded by gunfire last night Saturday, March 23 by his bodyguard but Iran is not dead. He is currently hospitalized, between life and death, Shami Hospital in Damascus which the streets were closed.

Last year one of Assad’s bodyguards blew himself up in a suicide blast in Damascus.

UPDATE: Wikipedia already reported his death:


More… First time Wikipedia user IP 39.47.23.140 in Islamabad was the Wiki source of #Assad death edit.

UPDATE: Al-Arab media says there are conflicting reports on the shooting.


UPDATE: Isreali News One is now reporting Assad is dead:

According to Arab media reports that have been verified – officials assassinated by his bodyguard of Syrian President life Heavy security around the hospital a – my mother in Damascus and in-hospital–



UPDATE: Assad’s inner circle says the reports are not true – the dictator is in high spirits and will deliver a keynote speech within days (unless he’s dead).

The sources said that President Assad was transferred to Shami Hospital in Damascus, suffering from wounds and described it as very serious, and he is fighting for his life there, while the Syrian army has closed all roads leading to the hospital. Even the meantime there has been no official statement by the system, while sources close to him denied what was in the news altogether, noting that the president was in good health and high spirits, and will deliver a keynote speech in the coming days.

UPDATE: Syrian TV premises have been evacuated.

UPDATE: Russia Today News (pro-Assad) says the rumors are not true because Assad’s inner circle told them so.

UPDATE: Here we go…..
The Jews and their robots are being blamed for the ‘disinformation.’

Zionist bedouins created an Al-Assad articulated robot, will show him dead along with Damascus streets in chaos, to bring about panic and demoralize the Syrian people and the army, to enable terrorists to take advantage of the situation. Just like they did with the fake GREEN SQUARE footage in LIBYA.


So some places are reporting he's dead, some say hospitalized. It appears something certainly happened. Interesting times ahead

Assad death report dismissed as ‘ridiculous’ rumor

Media websites were abuzz with rumors of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s death on Sunday, after he had supposedly been shot the previous day. But RT later heard from a source close to the government that the news is completely untrue.

The president was reportedly shot dead by his Iranian bodyguard, then taken to a Damascus hospital, as roads were blocked and the surrounding buildings seized by government forces. Then, French weekly, Le Point, reported that the news was denied by the Free Syrian Army. All while some Israeli and Lebanese sources confirmed Assad’s death.

However, a source close to the Syrian government, in a conversation with RT, has dismissed the rumors as outlandish, and the fact that the news had spread at all, bizarre. “It’s not true. Definitely it’s not. The first one to bring this news was an Israeli [website] so it’s a shame to all the news channels, newspapers and websites copying this thing without any source. Just the Israeli website brought this news and all the channels [used]. So it’s ridiculous. And he [Assad] doesn’t have an Iranian bodyguard.”

Social media websites like Facebook and Twitter have widely been blamed for the rumor spreading so quickly.

RT's audience is composed of fringe loons and conspiracy nuts, the kind that seek their "news" from blogs and websites like Infowars. These folks want their views reinforced, and RT will do that for them by masquerading as a news organization.

Why is that Israeli website a generalization of Israelis? Do you view Israelis as a dishonest people?
