Syria Warns: We Will Unleash Hell If US Attacks

SYRIA last night warned the West to “expect everything” in revenge attacks if it is bombed by America.

Dictator Bashar al-Assad issued chilling threats live on US telly and did not rule out chemical weapons being unleashed in the fallout. He warned that retaliation strikes “may take different forms” with attacks coming “direct and indirect”. Assad said US action would strengthen al-Qaida fanatics trying to topple him.

With the crisis entering a critical week, Russia backed America’s ultimatum on Syria to hand over chemical weapons and avoid a missile bombardment. Assad again denied gassing his own people, but he claimed that rebel forces and terrorists would not be afraid to use chemical weapons. He said air strikes on his country would trigger “instability and the spread of terrorism all over the region that will influence the West directly”. And he told America to “expect the worst.”

US Secretary of State John Kerry, in London yesterday for crisis talks with Foreign Secretary William Hague, gave Assad until the end of the week to hand over his chemical arsenal and avoid action.
