Deposed Syrian Dictator Poisoned Under Putin’s Nose: Watchdog

Deposed Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad was poisoned in Russia right under his pal Vladimir Putin’s nose, according to a human rights watchdog.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Thursday that al-Assad was rushed to an emergency room near Moscow on Sept. 20 and was in critical condition at an intensive care unit. He was released last week after recovering, the group said.

Rami Abdul Rahman, the organization’s director, said a “reliable source” told him that al-Assad was targeted in a “poisoning operation.” The fallen Syrian dictator was reportedly poisoned while at home in a villa near Moscow that is heavily guarded by Russian authorities.
