UN Council Likely to Delay Vote on Iraq Diplomats

UNITED NATIONS, Dec 14 (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council is likely to
delay a vote on a crucial resolution on Iraq, scheduled for Tuesday, at
the request of France, diplomats said.

One envoy said France had asked to "stop the clock" to give it time to
reconsider its position on the resolution that could restart arms
inspections in Iraq and suspend crippling trade sanctions against Baghdad. 
A new vote is expected to be scheduled for later in the week, the
diplomats said.
