A WEBSITE PURPORTING to be a hacked version of the official website of Asma Assad, the first lady of Syria, is a hoax, it is being claimed.
The site, www.asmaassad.com, says it is the “official website of Syria’s First Lady” and states on its homepage that Assad is “the wife of a vicious war criminal”.
“He thinks he can fool the American public with pleasant interviews,” the site says of Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria.
However, International Business Times UK says the site’s IP address can be traced to Arizona and was set up yesterday, which means it is a hoax.
Asma Assad, who was born in Britain, sent an email to London’s Times earlier this week saying she supports her husband’s role.
The website appears as violence in Syria increases, with the latest bombings taking place in the city of Aleppo.
Twenty eight people have been reported dead in Aleppo today following two car bomb explosions.

Why are Irish people so willing to buy the propaganda being sold by the militiary interventionists who are fighting a proxy war against Syria via the Sunni rebels? Colonial powers have always rationalised their meddling in other peoples countries with humanitarian or moral pretexts, and as a colonised country Irish people should be vigilant of this. The media is wildly biased in favor of the Sunni rebels (or as reporters call them:”the Syrian people”). Counter punch dot com does a good job trying to ferret out he truth about events going on over there.
