News of Assad Assassination is greatly exaggerated
News of Assad Assassination is greatly exaggeratedBy Michael Collins, on March 24th, 2013
There’s a strange story out there about Syrian President Bashar Assad’s assassination and possible death. It has little merit but the sourcing is interesting.
Gateway Pundit reported: BREAKING: Assad Shot By Bodyguard – Hospitalized in Damascus – Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, March 24, 2013, 12:22 PM
The sourcing on this leads to a French publication, JSS. Gateway Pundit listed the link as “Translated from JSS News:”
JSS, a French online publication. cites the “Arab Media” as its source on Assad’s death. This is when the story falls apart.
