No action after U.N. meeting on N. Korea


    UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A U.N. Security Council meeting on Sunday decided on no immediate action against North Korea for its rocket launch but agreed to continue discussions on what response it should make given the "serious situation."

    "Members of the Security Council agreed to continue consultations on the appropriate reaction by the council in accordance with its responsibilities given the urgency of the matter," Mexico's U.N. Ambassador Claude Heller, who holds the council's rotating presidency, told reporters.
