DAMASCUS - Damascus on Wednesday hit back at Mr Donald Trump and likened the US to a"rogue" state or"terrorist group" after the US President said he had wanted to assassinate Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad.

"It pursues the same tactics as terrorist groups such as murder and assassination," it said, one day after Mr Trump made the remarks to the morning show Fox & Friends. Mr Trump was reportedly mulling assassinating Mr Assad after the Syrian President allegedly launched a chemical attack on civilians. Mr Trump unleashed missile strikes against the regime's Shayrat airbase, from where the gas attack was allegedly launched.
