The U.N. special envoy to Libya insisted Friday that Libyan peace talks were still on track despite the absence of delegates from the internationally-recognized parliament. Bernardino Leon told the Associated Press as he was entering the conference center near the Moroccan capital of Rabat that the representatives of Libya's Tobruk parliament could be back within days. "They are adding new members to their delegation and this is something we have accepted and they have said they need time to prepare," Leon said. The fate of the talks were thrown into doubt when the Tobruk delegation didn't return from scheduled consultations after preliminary talks last week with their Tripoli-based rivals. Central authority has broken down in Libya, with scores of competing militias battling each other and rival parliaments claiming legitimacy on opposite ends of the country. -- SPA 21:22 LOCAL TIME 18:22 GMT تغريد
