Syria's Assad threatens force against US-backed Kurds

DAMASCUS –Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has warned US-backed Kurdish forces he would not hesitate to use force to retake the third of the country they control. 


He told Russia Today in an interview aired Thursday that he favoured negotiations with the Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish-led outfit supported by the US-led coalition."If not, we're going to resort to liberate these areas by force," Assad said.
