The US headquarters of President Bashar al-Assad's brutal regime is a multi-million dollar New York town house sold to the Syrians by the former American president Richard Nixon, it can be revealed.
Sheherazad Jaafari, his daughter who arranged the interview between Mr Assad and Barbara Walters, also lives at the former US president's house.

The luxurious 12-room home, on Manhattan's East 65th Street, is currently home to the Syrian ambassador to the United Nations – and key Assad sympathiser – Bashar Jaafari.
Mr Jaafari has made repeated statements claiming that the bloodshed in Syria is not the work of Mr Assad's government.
Sheherazad Jaafari, his daughter who arranged the interview between Mr Assad and Barbara Walters, also lives at the former US president's house. She was a key aide to Mr Assad and claimed that the Syrian president was "loved by his people".
The home was bought by Mr Nixon for $750,000 (£484,000) in 1979, five years after he left office following the Watergate scandal.
He sold the home to the then Syrian ambassador in 1981, two years on, for an estimated $2.6m - over three times the amount he paid for it. It is understood the home has remained in the hands of the Syrian government ever since. The registered owner is the Permanent Mission of Syria.

it is now estimated to be worth $5.5m.
