Syrian rebels have broadcast their first news bulletin on state television, announcing that they have 'won the bet and toppled the criminal Assad regime'. Talking on Syria's main news channel, the anchor said: 'To those who thought one day that we were broken, we announce to you from the Syrian News Channel the victory of the great Syrian revolution after 13 years of patience and sacrifice.'
Assad, who had crushed all forms of dissent, flew out of Damascus to an unknown destination on Sunday, two senior army officers told Reuters, as rebels said they had entered the capital with no sign of army deployments.
