Talks to restore peace in Libya, brokered by the United Nations, have come to a halt in Morocco as the nation's internationally-recognised parliament suspended its participation, a report said.

A spokesman for the chamber of representatives said that Friday's suicide bombings by Islamic State (IS) in al-Qubbah, which killed at least 40 people, prompted negotiators to cancel talks who complained that the attack had not been condemned by the rival government, reported the BBC.

The nation is plunged into a state of unrest as the two sides vie for political legitimacy.

The internationally recognised parliament is based in the eastern port of Tobruk while the Islamist-dominated General National Congress, is nearly 1,000 km (620 miles) to the west in the capital, Tripoli.

 

The talks began on Thursday.
