Libyan news agency reports warplanes strike western Libyan port
Published December 03, 2014
CAIRO Libya's official news agency says warplanes have struck the port of a western coastal city, a day after similar strikes killed eight people.
LANA reports that Zuwara port was bombed on Wednesday. Tuesday's airstrikes were carried out by the country's internationally recognized government, which has been meeting in eastern Libya since Islamist-led militias took control of the capital and formed their own government.
The strikes come as a U.N. mission in Libya attempts to promote political dialogue among the country's rival factions and bring peace to the tumultuous country.
The fighting Libya's worst since the 2011 ouster and killing of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi has left the country with two rival governments and parliaments. It has displaced hundreds of thousands of people and driven out foreigners and diplomats.

UN calls for fresh Libya talks to end violence
TRIPOLI: The United Nations mission to Libya Wednesday (Dec 3) said it will call fresh talks between warring factions in an attempt to end months of violence and political deadlock in the country.
UN Special Representative Bernardino Leon will lead the new round of negotiations on Dec 9, the organisation's Libya mission said in a statement.
It did not say where the talks would take place or who would take part.
The UN's push for dialogue came as the United States and key allies said they were ready to take further steps to protect the North African nation.
In a statement after a meeting in Brussels convened by Secretary of State John Kerry, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the European Union "expressed grave concern over the deteriorating situation" in Libya.
More than three years after dictator Moamer Kadhafi was toppled and killed in a NATO-backed revolt, the country is awash with weapons and powerful militias, and has rival governments and parliaments.
Fierce clashes persist in second city Benghazi and west of the capital Tripoli between forces loyal to the internationally recognised government and a rebel group of mainly Islamist militias.
A previous attempt at UN-brokered talks between the warring factions in June was unsuccessful.
But the UN mission insisted on Wednesday that a breakthrough was still possible.
"There is agreement among the various Libyan actors that the way forward is to hold an inclusive political dialogue to tackle the crisis with a view to end the fighting and alleviate the suffering of the civilian population," the UN statement said.
