The Syrian National extends its sincere condolences to Colonel Riad Al-Assa’ad and all the members of his family for the death of his 17-year-old son, Mohammed 17 who died in a tragic accident in Turkey. The Syrian Coalition wishes a speedy recovery to Colonel Al-Assa’ad, who was accompanied by his son and was taken to the hospital on Tuesday evening. Assa’ad is one of the founding leaders of the Free Syrian Army, and many members of his clan died fighting in the ranks of the FSA. Assa’ad survived a year ago an assassination attempt while he was in the countryside of Deir Ezzor. (Source: Syrian Coalition)
