Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that most terrorist attacks are false flag operations designed by the West in order to control members of the public.

Flemish Father Daniël Maes (78) lives in Syria in the sixth-century-old Mar Yakub monastery in the city of Qara, 90 kilometers north of the capital Damascus.
