Libya's army said it will halt operations from Sunday to allow rebels to lay down their arms, softening repeated threats by Muammar Gaddafi to crush them. The ceasefire announcement came amid claims and counter-claims about the progress of fighting, which could not be independently confirmed. Meanwhile, a UN Security Council resolution has called for an immediate ceasefire in Libya to prevent a bloodbath. The Security Council, early this morning, also approved a No Fly Zone over the strife-torn country to halt Gaddafi's forces to carryout aerial attacks.
