Arms agency tells North Korea to comply or face council

Vienna - The U.N. nuclear agency approved a resolution Monday giving North Korea a final chance to abandon its covert weapons program and readmit inspectors, an agency official said.

Stopping short of reporting the communist country's defiance to the U.N. Security Council, the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-nation board of governors instead approved the resolution urging it to comply with its obligations under global nuclear accords, the official told The Associated Press. -- Associated Press
