16 Names Added to UN's Al-Qaida Sanctions List






 
A U.N. Security Council committee has added 16 names to its +Al-Qaida sanctions list, including one with ties to the Islamic State group.

Tuesday's additions come after the council approved a resolution expanding the list's scope to include people affiliated with the extremist group that has taken over a huge area of land in Syria and Iraq.

'Abd al-Rahman Muhammad Mustafa al-Qaduli of Iraq has been listed as a senior Islamic State group official who rejoined the group in 2012 after his release from prison. He and other individuals and entities added to the sanctions list face financial sanctions, a Travel ban and arms embargo.

The recent council resolution also urges the sanctions committee to consider listing more names of people who support the +Islamic State group.
