UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council on Monday imposed an arms embargo on the M23 and FDLR rebel groups in an attempt to quell fighting in Congo’s conflict-wracked eastern region.

The council committee monitoring sanctions against Congo also imposed a travel ban and financial freeze on the assets of two M23 leaders —the rebel group’s president Jean-Marie Runiga and one of its military commanders, Lt. Col. Eric Badege.
