Speculation grows over Bashar al-Assad's whereabouts as rebels enter Damascus

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's location is uncertain amid reports of rebel forces entering Damascus. Speculation has arisen that he may have fled the country or been involved in a plane crash after a Syrian aircraft disappeared from radar. The plane took off from Damascus airport as rebels advanced but made an unusual U-turn before vanishing. Two sources indicated a "very high probability" that Assad may have died in the incident, though this remains unconfirmed. The Syrian army reportedly informed its officers that Assad's long rule has ended. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding his fate or whereabouts as tensions in Syria escalate.
