Syrians in Damascus trample on toppled statue of Assad's father

Syrians in the capital, Damascus, cheered on Sunday as they trampled on a toppled statue of President Bashar al-Assad's father, Hafez, AFPTV images showed.

Hafez al-Assad ruled Syria from 1971 until he died in 2000, setting up a paranoid, brutal system of government that his son inherited.

On Sunday, Islamist-led rebels declared Bashar al-Assad had fled the country following a lightning offensive that overran the country.
