United Nations: The UN Security Council unanimously voted Thursday to end the mandate for international military action in Libya.

The 15-member council ordered an end to authorization for a no-fly zone and action to protect civilians from 11:59 pm Libyan time on October 31.

The mandate was approved in March after Muammar Gaddafi launched a deadly assault on opposition protests.
