Where is Assad? Plane thought to be carrying Syrian leader, family vanishes from radar

Rebels seized Damascus, ending Assad’s 24-year reign. He reportedly fled on a plane whose fate is unknown. His family’s location is also unconfirmed. The swift rebel advance leaves Syria’s future uncertain, with Assad’s whereabouts a mystery. The rebel offensive, which began a week ago with the surprise capture of northern Aleppo, quickly snowballed. Cities fell one after another as Assad’s forces were unable to hold their ground.
