Widespread support for ISIS after US air strike

Widespread support for ISIS after US air strike

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said on ISIS support has been expanded since the US-led coalition launch air strikes against militants in Syria.

In an interview with CBS television program "60 Minutes" aired Sunday, Assad said the number of new members ISIS has increased since the US air strikes began in September.

The Syrian leader said allegations that Syria uses chemical weapons against civilians is Western propaganda. But, he says he does not mind allowing the inspectors to determine whether it uses chlorine gas against its own people.

He also said open to dialogue with the United States, but did not want to talk about whether he will be allowed to remain in power.

The United States has long said that President Assad is not able to participate in the future of Syria so that the termination of the battle can be negotiated.


State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke America said last week that Assad hand and those close to her "bloody." He said they have yet to prove that they are willing to hold meaningful talks with moderate Syrian opposition. VOA
