EUA e a França chegam a acordo

UNITED NATIONS Aug 5, 2006 (AP)— The United States and France reached agreement Saturday on a U.N. Security Council resolution aimed at ending the fighting between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas, U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said.
An official with knowledge of the talks, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the draft calls for a "full cessation of violence" between Israel and Hezbollah, but would allow Israel the right to launch strikes if Hezbollah attacks it.
"It does not say immediate cessation of violence," said the official, who spoke anonymously because the draft had not yet been made public.
