UNITED NATIONS, July 30 (Reuters) - U.N. Security Council members broke a deadlock on Wednesday on a resolution to keep peacekeepers in Darfur and acknowledge worries about a possible genocide indictment of Sudan's president, diplomats said. The 15 council members will vote on the British-drafted resolution on Thursday, council diplomats said. The draft, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, extends the mandate of the joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force in Sudan's war-ravaged western Darfur region until July 31, 2009.
