White Helmets are part of al-Qaeda, claims Syrian Prez
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has slammed volunteers of White Helmets, calling them members of al-Qaeda. "The same members are killing or executing or celebrating over dead bodies, at the same time they are humanitarian heroes, and...they have an Oscar," Assad said. He further said White Helmets are an example of Western narratives distorting truth about the conflict in the country.
