The UN Security Council on Thursday (July 20th) added two armed groups in Syria, two money exchange businesses and four individuals to a sanctions blacklist for their alleged ties to the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) and al-Qaeda, AFP reported.

The eight names were contained in an annex to a US-drafted resolution on combating terrorism that was adopted unanimously by the council.

Two groups fighting in Syria — ISIS-linked Jaysh Khalid Ibn al-Waleed and Jund al-Aqsa, which has been recently tied to ISIS after initial ties to the former al-Nusra Front (ANF), were put on the sanctions list.

Jaysh Khalid Ibn al-Waleed is active in southern Syria, while fighters from Jund al-Aqsa were pushed out of Idlib province earlier this year and are now operating in al-Raqa.

Both are considered minor players in Syria's increasingly complex six-year conflict.

The Hanifa Money Exchange Office, located in Albu Kamal, Syria, also was listed, as was the Selselat al-Thahab money exchange business based in Syria, which is accused of moving money on behalf of ISIS.

Two individuals who have operated in Indonesia -- Oman Rocham and Muhammad Bahrun Naim Anggih Tamtomo, who is now Syria-based -- were cited for taking part in terror attacks.

Two men who have been active in Russia's Caucasus region and in Syria -- Malik Ruslanovich Barkhanoev and Murad Iraklievich Margoshvili -- also were added to the sanctions list.

Currently there are 252 individuals and 76 entities on the UN sanctions list for alleged ties to ISIS and al-Qaeda, who have been hit by an assets freeze and a global travel ban.
