UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council imposed sanctions on
the Horn of Africa state of Eritrea on Wednesday because of aid that council
members say it has given to Islamist insurgents in nearby Somalia.
A resolution supported by 13 of the 15 council members, with one contrary
vote and one abstention, slapped an arms embargo and asset freezes and
travel bans on Eritrea and individuals and firms to be designated by an
existing sanctions committee. Those hit would include members of the
country's leadership.
