Bassel al-Assad Biography

Bassel al-Assad is one of the most popular and richest Former who was born on March 23, 1962 in Damascus, Damascus Governorate, Syria.

Bassel al-Assad (Arabic: باسل الأسد ‎ Bāssel al Assad; 23 March 1962 – 21 January 1994) was a Syrian engineer, colonel, and politician who was the eldest son of President of Syria Hafez al-Assad and the older brother of (later) President Bashar al-Assad. It was widely expected that he would succeed his father as President of Syria until he died in a car accident in 1994.

Originally Assad’s uncle, Rifaat al-Assad, was Hafez’s chosen successor but Rifaat attempted to usurp power from Hafez while the latter was in a coma in

1984. This led to Rifaat’s exile. Following the incident, Bassel was groomed to succeed his father. Hafez’s efforts intensified to make Bassel the next President of Syria in the early 1990s; after Hafez’s election victory in 1991, the President was publicly referred to as “Abu Basil” (Father of Bassel). Assad was also being introduced to European and Arab leaders; he was a close friend of the children of King Hussein of Jordan and had been also introduced to King Fahd of Saudi Arabia.
