An active search is currently underway for Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian leader, as rebel forces question Syrian military officers and intelligence officials in an attempt to gather information about his whereabouts. This information comes from a reliable source familiar with the rebels' ongoing operations.
On Sunday, rebel forces made a bold declaration, stating that Damascus was now considered 'free' as they claimed that Assad had fled the capital. This declaration followed the rebels' entry into the city early on Sunday morning.
