Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has denied he is responsible for the killing of thousands of protesters, telling an American TV channel he was not in charge of the forces behind the crackdown. In a rare interview, Assad spoke to ABC News, saying: ?I?m the president. I don?t own the country, so they?re not my forces.?
?There?s a difference between having a policy to crack down and between having some mistakes committed by some officials. There is a big difference,? the Syrian leader was quoted as saying.
