Kerry: Assad is 'super-magnet for terrorism'

US Secretary of State John Kerry has ramped up criticism of Syrian president Bashar Assad, calling him a “one-man super-magnet for terrorism” who has committed war crimes and could be responsible for the ultimate disintegration of Syria.
Speaking a day after he told an international peace conference that there is no way Assad can play a role in a potential transitional government,Mr Kerry said Assad must act in the best interests of his country and accept that his family’s long reign over Syria is over.
