Assad blames unrest on saboteurs, pledges reforms - Yahoo! News

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad pledged on Monday reforms within months to address a wave of protests against his rule, but blamed saboteurs for the unrest and warned that no deal could be reached with gunmen.

Assad said a national dialogue would start soon to review new legislation including laws on parliamentary elections, the media, and allowing political parties other than his Baath Party, as well as look at possible changes to the constitution.
