UNITED NATIONS: The U.N. Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution aimed at disrupting revenue that Daesh (ISIS) gets from oil and antiquities sales, ransom payments and criminal activities.

Daesh is already subject to U.N. sanctions under resolutions dealing with Al-Qaeda.

The resolution adopted Friday, which was sponsored by the United States and Russia, elevates Daesh to the same level as Al-Qaeda, reflecting its growing threat and split from the terror network behind the 9/11 attacks.
