Washington, Safar 7, 1437, Nov 19, 2015, SPA -- The US House of Representatives passed legislation Monday to require tightened checks of Syrian refugees, in the wake of last week's Paris attacks by suspected IState terrorists, dpa reported. The measure must first pass the Senate before going to President Barack Obama, who has threatened to veto the measure. Obama is seeking to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees by September 2016. -- SPA 00:37 LOCAL TIME 21:37 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
