Syria's Assad to address nation as troops continue bloody crackdown

Syrian President Bashar Assad on Monday plans to make a third major speech since protests against his government began in mid-March, the state news agency SANA reported.

The speech would be about "current developments in Syria" and would take place at noon local time, the agency said late Sunday without elaborating.

Despite brutal suppression by Assad's regime, hundreds of thousands of Syrians have taken to the streets in the past three months to demand greater democracy and civil liberties. Human rights groups have said more than 1,300 civilians have been killed in the unrest.
