Accounts on social media circulated a claim that French migrants had claimed responsibility for targeting the convoy of French President Emmanuel Macron with explosions that occurred in Damascus.
Reviewing open sources, official statements, and accounts linked to French migrants revealed no reliable indicators or data confirming that they claimed responsibility for the explosions. Official statements also showed that the blast site was outside the security perimeter designated for the French president's residence and did not target his convoy or affect his visit.
Why is this claim false?
A claim without evidence: There is no evidence that French migrants claimed the explosions, and official data denies that the French president's convoy was targeted.
