Ahmed al-Sharaa names party behind coastal massacres
Ahmed al-Sharaa, Syria's interim president, announced that the party behind the massacres in the coastal region of Syria were identified and he vowed to punish them even if they were very close to him.
In an interview with Reuters, al-Sharaa held groups loyal to the regime of ousted President Bashar Assad, supported by foreigners, responsible for igniting the bloody events that took place in the coastal area. Still, he confessed that revenge killings occurred in the aftermath.
The interim president said: "Syria, we have confirmed that it is a state of law. The law will take its course for everyone."
He added: "We basically came out to confront this regime, and we only arrived in Damascus to support the oppressed people. We do not accept that a drop of blood be shed here unjustly, or that this blood be shed in vain without accountability or punishment."
