Syria's President says countries like the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and
Turkey are hindering peace in his country by supporting those he calls
'terrorists'. Bashar al-Assad accused Washington of being partially
responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians by partnering with the
rebels. The Syrian army have started large-scale drills simulating
defense against outside attacks. Some opposition leaders previously
appealed to the West for foreign intervention against the regime. But as
Maria Finoshina reports from Syria, many in the country are fearing for
their lives if the rebel forces get what they want.
