Syrian Protesters Say 'Assad is the Terrorist'


Thousands of Syrians took to the streets, criticizing Washington for blacklisting a rebel group and saying that it was President Bashar al-Assad who was a "terrorist". The protesters on Friday demonstrated under the slogan: "There is no terrorism in Syria except that of Assad." The U.S. was hoping to marginalize Jubhat al-Nusra when it labelled it a terrorist organisation. Instead, the group has gained popularity, especially in the villages and towns of Syria.
