Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad: President Barack Obama

President Barack Obama: "Those who make accusations must show evidence," Assad said in an interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro, according to CBC. Assad said U.S. President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande "have been incapable" of proving Syria was behind a chemical attack on Aug. 21, allegations the Syrian president has repeatedly denied and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has challenged the U.S. and France to provide evidence his regime used chemical weapons on civilians in August, warning that any strikes on his country would result in dire repercussions, and "chaos and extremism" would spread. "We have challenged the United States and France to come up with a single piece of proof," he said in excerpts published Monday in the daily.
