Cairo, Jun 12 (AP) Libyan officials returned to the Egyptian capital Sunday for a third round of talks on constitutional amendments for elections. The talks in Cairo come on the heels of clashes between rival militias that caused residents of the Libyan capital of Tripoli to panic and revived nightmares of previous bouts of fighting in the chaos-stricken nation. The dispute over the constitutional framework of the election was among major challenges that caused planned national elections to fail in December. The failure to hold the vote was a major blow to international efforts to end decade of chaos in Libya. On Friday, clashes broke out in Tripoli between rival militias, spurring residents to take shelter and women and children to flee a busy park as artillery shells flew across the night sky.
