Assad bitterly attacked the terrorism;
Assad pledged that he will “destroy their (Sheikh Al-Bouti’s killers) oppression and blasphemy until we cleanse our country from them.”
In a statement he issued, Assad said: “I console myself and the Syrian people for the martyrdom of Mr. Mohammad Saeed Al-Bouti, one of the high figured of Syria and the Islamic world.”
