Russia has sent an Ilyushin Il-76 passenger plane to Latakia, Syria to
evacuate its own citizens as well as those of other CIS countries from Syria (Hat Tip:
MFS - The Other News).
An airliner of the Emergency Situations' Ministry has arrived in Syria to pick up Russians wishing to leave the country.
"An Ilyushin Il-76 landed in Latakia and will collect from Syria both
citizens of Russia and CIS countries wishing to leave," official
spokesman for the ministry Irina Rossius told Interfax.
The plane is carrying a team of rescuers and psychologists who will help the passengers during the flight.
People wishing to leave Syria are at Latakia airport already. Their number is being finalized.
The Russians obviously expect a Western attack to happen. Are they right?
