UN says Libya talks extended despite clashes
None
Libyan peace talks in Morocco between two rival governments, expected to end on Sunday, will be extended for two more days despite clashes on the ground.
Western leaders say the UN talks are the only way to end the chaos in Libya, where the two rival governments and armed factions are battling for control and Islamist militants have gained ground in the resulting mayhem. A renewed military offensive in Libya's capital, Tripoli, had threatened international efforts to reach agreement on a unity government and lasting ceasefire in the warring oil producing state. Both sides have attacked each other with war planes in the past few days. But earlier on Friday, UN special envoy Bernardino Leon had said he hoped the rival factions would soon come closer to reaching a deal.
