UNITED NATIONS: The United States requested an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on Wednesday to discuss a move to ease Libya sanctions so that 1.5 billion dollars of aid can be sent.
The 15-member council will meet from 3:00 pm (1900 GMT) to discuss a proposed US resolution on the sanctions. Western diplomats said the United States took the move to the council because South Africa had blocked an easing of restrictions at the UN sanctions committee.
