Libya today offered a truce to the UN in return for an immediate NATO ceasefire. Muammar Gaddafi's Prime Minister Baghdadi Mahmudi offered this to the visiting UN special envoy to Libya, Abdul-Ilah al-Khatib, as the anti regime revolt entered its fourth month. Mahmudi was quoted by state run Jamahiriya News Agency, JANA, as saying that Libya is keen for an immediate ceasefire to coincide with a stop to the NATO bombardment and the acceptance of international observers. The head of Britain's armed forces said NATO should widen its bombing campaign to ensure that Gaddafi is unable to cling to power.Meanwhile, several loud explosions shook the east of Tripoli and columns of smoke rose into the sky, residents reported from Tajura, a suburb of the capital. JANA reported human losses and material damage after NATO struck military and civilian sites in Zuara, west of Tripoli. A NATO spokesman confirmed that the alliance targeted military equipment in the city.
