My Comment: For the past 8-10 months I have noticed that Assad's family has disappeared from public view (not surprisingly in view of the carnage that is happening in the country). Where are they? And more to the point .... where has Assad been hiding as the Syrian civil war rages .... a question that this report appears to answer. As to the Russian security angle .... interestingly .... according to independent Russian media outlets and bloggers (I speak Russian), Russian government officials have avoided answering the question when asked.
