Libya Parliament Votes to Return to U.N.-brokered Talks
Libya's internationally recognized parliament voted on Monday to return to U.N.-brokered talks on the future of the crisis-hit country, a week after suspending its participation, a lawmaker said.
The motion to resume the negotiations was adopted at the end of a meeting between members of parliament and the U.N.'s special envoy to Libya, Bernardino Leon, the lawmaker Abu Bakr Beira told Agence France-Presse.
The decision to suspend participation in the talks had come days after 40 people were killed in suicide car bombings in the eastern town of al-Qoba claimed by the Islamic State jihadist group.
