Assad: Blame ‘Terrorists' For Convoy Attack

Syria and Russia did not launch the attack on the Red Crescent convoy this week, according to President Bashar Assad. The US claims that Russia was responsible for an airstrike earlier this week on the Syrian Arab Red Crescent convoy that killed 20 civilians. “Whatever they say, it’s just lies,” said Assad. Tensions between Russia and the United States have increased in recent days after authorities in Washington determined with a very high degree of confidence that the attack was carried out by a Russian piloted aircraft.
