Russian source: Assad has "10% chance to survive"

Western powers seek to convince Russia to grant political asylum to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, reports said Wednesday. "Western countries, and primarily the United States, have been actively trying to persuade Moscow to host the Syrian leader and grant him political asylum," according to the Russian daily Kommersant, citing a Russian diplomatic source. But, the source said, Russia, a key ally of Damascus, "does not intend to welcome" the head of the Syrian state. A source close to the Kremlin believed that the Syrian president had "about 10% chance of remaining in power ".
