Syria: Bashar al-Assad vows to stamp out 'terror' with iron fist:
President Bashar al-Assad has declared that military force, and not negotiation, is the only way to end the Syrian civil war, further dashing hopes of an internationally brokered peace agreement.
In a rare speech late on Sunday night, the Syrian president, newly buoyant from his victories against the rebels in the central city of Homs, deemed his political opposition a “failure” and said his army would crush “terrorism”, referring to the country’s insurgency.
“No solution can be reached with terror except by striking it with an iron fist,” he said, in remarks carried by the Syrian state news agency SANA.
The new report by Human Rights Watch found that the Syrian regime is firing high explosive, ballistic missiles into population centres where rebel groups may be hiding, with no apparent concern for civilian residents.
An investigation of nine different sites by the watchdog found that 215 people, including 100 children have been killed in ballistic missile attacks between February and July of this year alone.
