Syria: media aide to Bashar al-Assad studied under US-funded programme

On an alumni page Ms Ali lists how she studied political science between 2006
and 2008 and says her favourite memory was “attending President Obama’s
speech and shaking his hand”.

She describes finding “a second home in America” and jokes about “wearing
my cowboy boots and hat and feeling like a local”.

She also mentions being a part-time volunteer with the UNHCR, the United
Nations’ refugee agency which is currently tasked with aiding those fleeing
the violence in Syria.

A source who has met Ms Ali twice said: “She’s extremely Americanised. If
you saw her or heard her you would think she was some American sorority girl.”

The US State Department did not return a request for comment.
