Assad’s Syrian government falls after jihadists take control of the capital
SYRIAN jihadists took control of the capital yesterday as President Bashar al-Assad was reported to have fled the country.

The defeat of the Syrian government came after a lightning offensive by jihadist insurgent groups, mainly under Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which seized control of the capital, Damascus.
