(CNN)After four years and hundreds of thousands of deaths, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad denied using catastrophic barrel bombs in his country's civil war and said he's getting information on the U.S.-led efforts to fight ISIS through other nations. In an interview with BBC, al-Assad said his regime has been getting information indirectly from third parties about U.S.-led coalition sorties over Syria. "Sometimes, they convey a message, a general message, but there's nothing tactical," he told BBC. "There is no dialogue. There's, let's say, information, but not dialogue." Several Western countries have clamored for al-Assad to step down since 2011, when peaceful protests against his regime led to a violent government crackdown and, subsequently, a full-on civil war. But now, U.S. allies and the Syrian regime have a common enemy: ISIS, which is trying to solidify an Islamic state across swaths of Iraq and Syria. In the interview, al-Assad said Syria won't join the international coalition trying to "degrade and destroy" ISIS. "No, definitely we cannot and we don't have the will and we don't want, for one simple reason - because we cannot be in an alliance with countries which support terrorism," he told BBC.
