Assad: Yeah, there “definitely” are some terrorists in the refugee stream

Did Syria’s Bashar al-Assad give the Trump administration support for its key argument on the executive order temporarily blocking entry to Syrians, as well as nationals from six other high-risk countries? Yahoo’s Michael Isikoff got the first interview with the beleaguered Syrian dictator since Donald Trump took office, and Assad tells Isikoff that there are “definitely” some terrorists coming through the refugee stream. Before embracing this argument entirely, though, some context should be kept in mind : Syrian President Bashar al-Assad claims in a new interview that there are “definitely” terrorists among the Syrian refugees displaced by his country’s civil war.
