Social media networks in Syria have reported in recent hours that the remains of former Syrian President Hafez Assad were removed from his grave and transferred to an unknown location. The reports do not clarify who is behind the act. The gravesite had already been vandalized during the rebel uprising against Bashar Assad's regime. According to some online speculations, this is not another act of vandalism, and it's possible that Assad family supporters attempted to rescue the remains following repeated attacks on the site.
