Libya cease-fire decreed

Libya decided Friday to all military operations following the resolution adopted by the Security Council authorizes UN air strikes against the regime of Col. Moammar Gadhafi, said Libyan Foreign Minister Musa Kusa. Libya "has decided to immediately implement a ceasefire and to terminate all military operations," said Kusa news conference.

He stated that his country, as a member of the UN is "obliged to accept Security Council resolution" of the UN. On Thursday night, the Security Council voted in favor of a use of force against pro-Gadhafi troops, thus opening the way for air strikes after nearly a month of bloody insurrection is suppressed by the regime.

The resolution called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the fighting.
