U N approves tougher Iraq resolution
The U N Security Council unanimously approved a resolution giving weapons inspectors broader power to hunt for illicit weapons in Iraq. The move, seen as a U S victory, sets a timetable toward disarmament or war with Iraq under terms backed by Syria, France, Russia and China, while keeping the option of force if Iraq obstructs inspections.

The resolution orders inspectors to begin work by December 23, with Blix and ElBaradei required to report Iraqi violations immediately. It leaves determination of violations to inspectors and asks the council to respond after findings. Blix warns against minor delays being treated as breaches.
