UN atom body rejects Arab move targeting Israel

A 151-nation meeting of the UN nuclear agency has narrowly voted against an Arab push to censure Israel for not opening up its nuclear activities to inspection.

Of nations present, 51 voted against a resolution called "Israeli Nuclear Capabilities." Fifty-one voted for, and 23 abstained. The rest were absent.

The vote was closely watched after last year's meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency passed the same resolution by a small margin. (AP)
