Assad family snaps "found in palace" [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2024-12-12

Behold Bashar al-Assad, recently-departed despot of Syria, in repose. The snaps are floating around virally on the net, described as having been found in his abandoned palace outside of Damascus, though I don't see them in any real news reports. So perhaps it's just some random guy. If it is him, though, these were plausibly taken by friends when he was a young man living in London—see the British power outlets in the kitchen shot.

Previously:

• Rebels post video of Assad's collection of luxury cars

• Assad deposed in Syria

• The brilliant life and brutal death of Bassel Khartabil, killed by Assad for writing free software

• Look at the Assad family's boring-ass bunker

Assad is in Moscow with his family, according to Russian authorities, having 'resigned' the presidency in Syria as rebels closed in. Oh well!
