Libyan government calls for "immediate ceasfire"

Breaking News

In an apparent response to the U.N resolution to use "all measures necessary" to stop Qadhafi's assault on rebel forces, the Libyan foreign minister has called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to all military operations in the country. There were reports that U.N and Arab league country's were preparing to enforce a no fly zone against Qadhafi's warplanes beginning as early as Sunday. There is no word at this point whether or not this call for a ceasefire will have any effect on those plans.

Despite the foreign ministers comments, there are reports of ongoing violence in the town of Misrata. One citizen said that tanks and artillery units have assaulted  and even set fire to the city.
