SYRIA’S President Bashar al-Assad has promised to display captured foreign  ”mercenaries” who have been fighting his regime and denounced Western  governments for failing to protest at the violence being perpetrated by his  enemies.

In his first interview in many months, Dr Assad told Russian state TV that  the Syrian opposition had shown itself to be insignificant by calling for a  boycott of the recent parliamentary elections – dismissed as a sham by critics  in Syria and abroad.

”How can you boycott the people of whom you consider yourself the  representative?” Dr Assad  asked. ”I don’t think that they have any kind of  weight or significance within Syria.”

Dr Assad also mentioned religious extremists and al-Qaeda members from  abroad. ”There are foreign mercenaries, some of them still alive,” he told  Rossiya-24 TV. ”They are being detained and we are preparing to show them to  the world.”

Syria  previously mentioned  12 foreign terrorists killed in Syria.  The US  and other Western governments say they have detected a jihadi or  al-Qaeda  presence there. Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has urged all good Muslims to  fight Dr Assad’s ”pernicious, cancerous regime”.
