China Calls for Immediate Cease-Fire in Libya
By not in system - AOL NewsBEIJING -- China called Tuesday for an immediate cease-fire in Libya where the U.S. and European nations have launched punishing airstrikes to enforce a U.N. no-fly zone. All parties must "immediately cease fire and resolve issues through peaceful means," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said at a regularly scheduled news conference, citing unconfirmed reports that the airstrikes had caused civilian deaths. China was one of five countries that abstained from last week's vote on the U.N. resolution to allow "all necessary measures" to stop Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's assault on ...
Is Libya Cease-Fire Real or More Gadhafi 'Mischief Making'?
By Dana Kennedy - AOL NewsMilitary experts and Libyan rebels say that Libya's abrupt promise of a cease-fire today, just hours after the U.N. voted for a no-fly zone, is canny brinksmanship by Col. Moammar Gadhafi designed to buy time in his escalating cat-and-mouse game with the West. Rebel commander Khalifa Heftir told reporters in Benghazi today that Gadhafi was "bluffing," and CNN reported today that residents in the battered coastal city of Misrata said they were still under bombardment. "What cease-fire," asked a doctor in Misrata. "We're under the bombs. This morning they are burning the city. There ...
Basque Separatist Group ETA Declares Cease-Fire
By Lauren Frayer - AOL NewsMADRID -- It's a hauntingly familiar video here in Spain: Three masked men speaking into the camera with a banner of the Basque separatist group ETA hanging behind them. More than 850 people have died in the group's bombings, shootings and kidnappings over the past half-century, and such videos are splashed across the media every time ETA claims responsibility for an attack. But from what the masked men say in today's clip, this video could very well be their last. ETA has declared a "permanent and general, internationally verifiable" cease-fire, the men said on the video, posted today on ...
Spain Dismisses Terrorist Group's Cease-Fire Pledge
By Theunis Bates - AOL News(Sept. 6) -- Spain's government today ruled out negotiations with the armed Basque separatist group ETA, saying the terrorist organization only announced a cease-fire Sunday as it is too weak to carry out further attacks. "ETA is stopping because it can't continue," Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, Spain's interior minister, said today, according to the Financial Times. "ETA is stopping to regroup, make no mistake. We can't trust this, and that means the government is skeptical and that the Interior Ministry is maintaining its anti-terrorist policy." The terrorist group -- which wants to establish ...
The Obama-Clinton Cease-Fire
By David Knowles - Politics DailyOver the past week, you might have noticed the change. The gunfire, raging so long now that it seemed as if we might never know life without it, has stopped. Well, not stopped altogether, of course. Rather, it has been aimed off in another direction. Yes, it appears that the days of Democrat on Democrat violence are behind us. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have stopped shooting at one another. From The Washington Post:...the reality is that both sides have declared an effective cease-fire as they prepare to bring the party together for a general-election campaign against Sen. John McCain ...
