UPDATE: (6:44 PM EST)

NY Daily News is now reporting on the rumors that Assad was supposedly shot by his Iranian bodyguard Saturday night, with at least one other website saying he had been ‘assassinated.’ However, online updates by Arab and Israeli media say the report was untrue.

Other sources tell the news agency Al Arab said that President Assad was transferred to Shami Hospital in Damascus, suffering from wounds and described it as very serious, and he is fighting for his life there, while the Syrian army has closed all roads leading to the hospital. Even the meantime there has been no official statement by the system, while sources close to him denied what was in the news altogether, noting that the president was in good health and high spirits, and will deliver a keynote speech in the coming days.

UPDATE: (7:40 PM EST)

According to Free Republic, the presumed Iranian bodyguard’s name is Mehdi Jakoby, an Iranian military officer. ArabMedia’s JSS News amongst other various sources say there are reports of that heavy fighting outside of Damascus has forced the government to close down all roads leading to Shami Hospital where Assad is reportedly being treated.

UPDATE: (9:12 PM EDT)

From a twitter follower in Damascus…claims that none of the roads by Shami Hospital are closed.

    Well, if it is true, it is a bit of irony. Sic semper tyrannis!
