Mob storms Assad's palace, loots his personal belongings
Groups of Syrians strolled through the palaces of President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday following his ouster, wandering from room to room, posing for photographs, and with some taking items of furniture or ornaments.
Trending video shows people entering the Al-Rawda Presidential Palace, as children ran through the grand rooms and men slid a large trunk across the ornate floor.
Several men carried smart chairs over their shoulders. In a storeroom, cupboards had been ransacked and objects strewn across the floor.
Syrian rebel forces seized control of Damascus on Sunday after a swift week-long offensive, facing no resistance from government troops. Crowds stormed Assad's palace, looting his belongings, as reports surfaced of the president fleeing the country. Assad, who ruled Syria with an iron fist for 24 years, reportedly boarded a plane to an undisclosed location, according to senior Syrian military officials speaking to Reuters. The army command has allegedly informed officers of the regime's collapse.
