Plane carrying Syria's Assad disappears as rebels seize control of Damascus
Syrian rebels have taken control of Damascus, ending President Bashar al-Assad's 24-year rule. Reports indicate he fled the city on a plane, but its current location is unknown, along with that of his family. The rebel offensive began a week ago with the unexpected capture of northern Aleppo. Assad's forces struggled to maintain control, leading to rapid losses in several cities. The situation in Syria remains uncertain as the rebels continue their advance. Assad's whereabouts and the future of the country are now unclear.
