| TOKYO, April 8 KYODO: The House of Councillors adopted a resolution by a majority vote Wednesday, condemning North Korea's rocket launch Sunday and calling on the Japanese government to impose additional sanctions on Pyongyang. The resolution, which passed at an upper house plenary session, stresses the launch ''is an act which poses a threat to life and property'' in Japan. The move came after the House of Representatives endorsed a similar resolution during its plenary session Tuesday. |
