Summarily executed or casualties of war??

When key members of Assads regime turned up dead one day the regime hurriedly and somewhat uncharacteristically were eager to  feed news out to the press about an elaborate and deadly attack by opposition forces. However, as the days went by that explanation seemed to become highly improbable. Given the fact that people who were in the same building where the supposed attack took place did not hear or experience any attack by the opposition or anyone else.

What seemed at first to be a victory for the Free Syrian Army suddenly seems to have been a Coup inside the Assad regime, A coup that was brutally put down by Assad himself.

Hosni Mubarak failed to navigate one such coup during the closing stages of the uprising in Egypt. Now he finds himself in a Jail cell. So far for now, it seems Assad has survived this particularly deadly abyss. For now the at least.
