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).


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.

Those Jews and their evil robots are at it again.

UPDATE: French website L’Express picked up the story but says there is no evidence the reports are true.

UPDATE: The New York Daily News reported on the rumors.
