Opposition reject call for 'national dialogue'

The Opposition in Syrian has rejected President Bashar al-Assad's call for a 'national dialogue', made in a rare speech today.

Syria's National Coalition said those killed in the conflict 'didn't die to bolster - what they called - Assad's tyranny'.

The President unveiled the plan in a speech in Damascus earlier today - in which he said he was open to dialogue; but not with what he called 'the enemies of God' and 'puppets of the West'.
