Libya's elected parliament agrees to return to UN talks
Libya's elected parliament agreed on Monday to return to UN-sponsored peace negotiations one week after pulling out and a delegate from its rival assembly said the talks would resume on Thursday.
Western powers see the UN talks as the only chance to end turmoil in Libya, where a power struggle between two rival governments and their armed factions risks pushing the North African country deeper into civil war four years after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
Fighting between the two factions has cut into Libya's vital crude exports and has also allowed militants claiming loyalty to Islamic State to gain a foothold in the large desert nation.
News of parliament's move came just after Islamist militants shelled two Libyan oilfields, a security official said.
