Hillary Clinton warns of action at U.N. Security Council against NKorea over rocket launch

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the U.S. would pursue “appropriate action” at the U.N. Security Council if North Korea goes ahead with a long-range rocket launch.
    
She said if North Korea wants a peaceful, better future for its people, it should not go ahead with the launch. She said it would be a direct threat to regional security and violate the North’s obligations under existing Security Council resolutions.
    
Clinton made the comments Tuesday after meeting Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba.
    
Gemba said Japan, a key U.S. ally, would co-operate with Washington and the international community in framing its response.
    
Neither official elaborated on what exactly that response would be.
