UN appeals for ceasefire in Libya

The United Nations called to stop the war in Libya and urged the belligerents to come to talks.

The UN appealed for a ceasefire in the Libyan city of Misrata, saying at least 20 children had been killed in attacks by besieging government forces on rebel-held parts of the city.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) said that it would intensify its action against President Gaddafi’s forces by targeting Libya’s telecommunication system.

Earlier, the UK had said that it would send military officers to advise the rebels on organisation and communications.
Various countries have started criticising NATO operation in Libya and calling it a breach of the UN resolutions.
