Nations agree on N.Korea sanctions text By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer

UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. Security Council agreed Friday on the text of a resolution that would impose sanctions on North Korea for its claimed nuclear test earlier this week and set a vote for Saturday.

Japan's U.N. Ambassador Kenzo Oshima, the current council president, and U.S. Ambassador John Bolton, who introduced the resolution, announced the vote after a brief closed council meeting to discuss the latest draft resolution.

"There may some additional changes to the text," Bolton said, "but we do have unanimous agreement."

Bolton said the council's agreement just five days after North Korea's announcement it had detonated a nuclear device was "a sign of the determination of the council in the face of this threat to move quickly."

Oshima said he would set a time for the vote Saturday.

The United States, Britain, France and Japan reached a compromise agreement with Russia and China at a meeting Thursday that allayed Chinese and Russian concerns that the resolution could be used to launch a military attack on North Korea.

The latest draft would only authorize non-military sanctions against the North and clearly states that any further action the council might want to take would require another U.N. resolution. It also eliminates a blanket arms embargo in the previous draft, instead targeting specific equipment for sanctions including missiles, tanks, warships and combat aircraft.
