TYRANT Assad's desperate final plea to Putin and his nerve-racking wait to be smuggled into Russia have been revealed. The cowardly dictator escaped Syria just hours before rebels captured his palace in their lightning blitz that ousted his regime. Syria's former media chief Kamel Saqr has shared bombshell intel on Assad's final hours before his spineless escape to pal Putin's Russia.

Saqr described the route which he believes the fallen tyrant took to escape as opposition forces stormed towards the capital Damascus. Speaking on a Mazeej Studios podcast produced by Al Arabiya, Saqr revealed: "I imagine it was from Damascus Airport via a private plane, taking the southern bypass road and then the airport road to reach the airport.".

The first route the fallen dictator made was from Damascus International Airport to the Russian-operated Khmeimim Air Base. Saqr said that Assad could have been waiting several nail-biting hours for his flight to Moscow to be secured - the second part of his desperate exit plan.

He explained: "My information suggests that he stayed at the base for several hours until the plane was secured, prepared, and its takeoff and flight to Moscow were ensured.". The Russian military attache had met with Assad within the final two hours he had left in Syria before he fled, securing his departure, the former media chief claimed.
