Assad's Virtual World Collides with Reality
Reading
The president of Syria, Ahmed Ash-Sharaa, made an announcement. He said he got the Steam account of Bashar al-Assad. Bashar al-Assad used to be the leader of the country.
The former leader used the name 'nagibator1965' on Steam. His account had many games, worth about $24,000. Mr. Ash-Sharaa asked Moscow to give him Mr. Assad, but they said no.
Moscow gave Mr. Ash-Sharaa the IP addresses that Mr. Assad uses now. He uses them from a place called 'Moscow-City'. Then, Mr. Ash-Sharaa asked Steam to find the account and give it to Syria.
After Mr. Ash-Sharaa went to Moscow, some crimes were solved. In 2014, a student said something bad to the president in a game. He called the president a 'noob' who needed to learn how to shoot.
The student was quickly taken to a military place. Mr. Assad gave the student a gun and made him fight. Mr. Assad won the fight by shooting the student in the head.
