UN Says Libyan Rival Forces Resume Talks to Save Cease-Fire

   Libya's warring sides resumed Tuesday U.N.-brokered talks aimed at
   salvaging a fragile cease-fire in the North African country, the U.N.
   said in Geneva.

   The current cease-fire was brokered by Russia and Turkey on Jan. 12. It
   marked the first break in months of fighting for control of the Libyan
   capital, Tripoli. But both sides have repeatedly violated the
   cease-fire.

   Oil-rich Libya is split between rival governments, each backed by an
   array of foreign countries apparently jockeying for influence in order
   to control Libya's resources.
