TRIPOLI (Reuters) - The United Nations will resume peace talks with Libya's warring factions "later this week" in Morocco and is calling for an immediate ceasefire, the U.N. mission to Libya said on Tuesday.

Aides to Putin deny any involvement in killing Nemtsov, who was shot in the back four times on Friday within sight of the Kremlin walls. Nemtsov's friends say he was the victim of an atmosphere of hatred whipped up against anyone who opposes the president. "The shots were fired not only at Nemtsov but at all of us, at democracy in Russia," Gennady Gudkov, a prominent Kremlin opponent, said in a speech delivered next to the coffin.

The pair, former Latvian foreign minister Sandra Kalniete and Bogdan Borusewicz, the speaker of Poland's upper house of parliament, were both from countries whose ties with Moscow have come under particular strain in the Ukraine crisis. Russia said Kalniete was subject to a travel ban for her "anti-Russian activities". It said she may have been seeking to provoke a row by trying to come to Moscow anyway.
