Daesh attacking with `Huge Manpower` in Palmyra shows foreign support - Assad
According to the president, the terrorists had different machine guns, cannons and artillery.
"So, it could only happen when they come in this desert with the supervision of the American alliance that`s supposed to attack them in al-Raqqa and Mosul and Deir Ezzor [Deir ez-Zor], but it didn`t happen; they either turned a blind eye on what ISIS is going to do, and, or — and that`s what I believe — they pushed toward Palmyra," Assad added.
