ALBAWABA - After months of uncertainty about the fate of Maher Assad, brother of the former president of Syria Bashar Assad, a relative uncovered the truth about the former Syrian commander.

Maher Assad is a Syrian former military officer who served as commander of the Syrian Army's elite 4th Armoured Division and has disappeared since the ousting of the former Syrian regime as no news confirmed whether he left with his brother to Russia.

Following the collapse of Bashar Assad and his government on Dec. 8, the fate of Maher Assad was unknown despite that unconfirmed sources revealed that he escaped to Russia via Iraq. 

Many further allegedly claimed Masher Assad could have died or was injured in an earlier explosion in Damascus and the ex-regime remained silent about it.

Is Maher Assad alive, where is he?

Majd Jadaan, sister-in-law of Maher Assad said that the former Syrian commander is likely to be living in Russia, the only place that would welcome Assad family members.

Jadaan also claimed that Maher Assad was involved in planning the "Crisis Cell" explosion that targeted the Syrian National Security building in 2012 in the center of the capital, Damascus, and included only 5 people.
