Bushra Al-Asad (Bashshar's sister) has been a major power center in the regime. He had a say over policies and major appointments. I don't see a reference to her in Western analysis of Syria.
Anne mentions this article in German which talks about Bushra but the information in it is dated because it talks about the influence of her husband (who fell out of favor).
