Chaotic moments at Damascus International as staff left the airport.
Islamist-led rebels declared that they have taken Damascus in a lightning offensive on Sunday, sending President Bashar al-Assad fleeing and ending five decades of Baath rule in Syria.
The staff at the airport in Damascus, the Syrian capital, have departed, according to a report by state television in Iran.
Reports indicate that a Ilyushin Il-76T carrying Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has left Damascus early Sunday headed towards the Mediterranean.
